An elephant who goes "must" or "musth" has entered a breeding phase. Hormone levels cause the "bull" elephant to become aggressive, asserting dominance.

so i have the same problem is it true or false

The answer is false. If you read the information, you can see that the "must" is not a designated work period. It is a physical reaction to hormone levels within the animal.
