"Hormone measurements from the tusk of a male #WoollyMammoth show these #animals went through #musth, a seasonal peak in testosterone seen in elephants... The new method has the potential to document many aspects of the lives of #mammoths, as well as other #extinct animals."

Tusks tell tales of #musth in mammoths!

A very cool new study examined longitudinal trends of testosterone in tusks and found that mammoths exhibited episodes of heightened testosterone levels- similar to musth in elephants.

In #elephant s, musth is usually achieved under great body condition and is accompanied by marked behavioural changes like increased ranging and aggression to gain mating success.

Testosterone histories from tusks reveal woolly mammoth musth episodes - Nature

Comparisons of steroid hormone concentrations in dentin samples from fossil mammoth tusks with those from a modern elephant tusk provide evidence of periodic increases in testosterone in the male mammoth characteristic of musth episodes.
