I'm confused. As far as I know from my limited Animal Channel education, only female elephants form herds. Like a hideous sexual stereotype, the rowdy male elephant is banished from the female-led, loving, communal herd at a young age. At this point he rampages about the countryside being horny and antisocial. Every now and then he'll run across a herd or females and mate with one or two, but then it's back to the lonely life for him. So, I don't see how fightin' ketones are going to keep the herds of female elephants from ravaging fields.
Then again, I'm not a member of the Asian Elephant Research and Conservation Centre.
