NY Post: Rogue Elephant Kills Nearly Two Dozen People In India

From the New York Post: "Rogue elephant kills nearly two dozen people in 10-day rampage through eastern India." An additional 15 people have been injured. Per the article:

    The animal is believed to be in a state of musth — a natural but dangerous hormonal condition in male elephants marked by a surge in testosterone that can last weeks or even months.

    During musth, bulls become extremely aggressive, restless and unpredictable, often roaming long distances and attacking without warning.

Authorities have been unsuccessful in tranquilizing the animal, and "[l]ocal authorities say the elephant has yet to be captured as it continues to evade teams by moving swiftly through dense forest and slipping across remote villages under cover of darkness."
