Description

I was contacted by the author to discuss our work on African elephants (https://frontiersinzoology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1742-9994-10-62) and my own personal experiences with hyper-aggressive elephants that had likely suffered PTSD. This online article accompanies a scientific review paper (https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-ecolsys-011720-124613) published in annual reviews.
