There are more than a dozen elephants in the elephant herd, the leader is Sutuoduo (Perfect Elephant in Dai language), which the locals also call Wu Zetian, and the boss Atiqiduo ("King" in Dai language).In addition, there are second child, third child, fourth child and so on.Among them, the eldest, second, and third adult male elephants are of the same generation, and the newly born baby elephants are all descendants of the eldest elephant.In 2007, this group of elephants escaped from the Mengyangzi Reserve of the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve Management Bureau, crossed the Lancang River, and migrated. New hydropower dams and highways cut off their way home. They and other families completelyContact was lost.

Trapped for many years without being able to see other elephants, the almost-adult male elephants are unable to find a mate.How to reproduce has become their biggest problem.When the estrus comes, the duel is imminent.The “Lao4” who had just grown up challenged the provocative “Lao2”, but unfortunately it was still too young and did not have enough power to defeat its predecessors.“Lao Si” kept retreating and screamed for help from his father, the current “boss” of the elephant herd.

No one expected that “boss” looked at this scene and turned around and left.This is almost a decision that goes against the rules of the animal world.”In nature, few male elephants will voluntarily give up control of the elephant group. People speculate: Maybe it is for the health of the family.But even if “boss” makes this decision, the elephant herd still has no future.Because the “boss” was still there, the female elephants refused to succumb to the “unjustified ”boddling%, and the elephant herd was torn apart, and no more baby elephants were born since then.
