A male in musth curling and uncurling the distal portion of the trunk in a sinuous, snake-like motion usually while trunk is draped over a tusk or, alternatively, while lifting the head up and, with an open mouth, reaching with a curled trunk to rub across the temporal glands and forehead.
Little Male Advances-Toward our vehicle in a threatening manner. He does Trunk-Curl on his right and then left tusk before pausing to Sniff-Urine and then Contemplate. (Amboseli, Kenya)
