Successful cryopreservation of Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) spermatozoa
Animal Reproduction Science, 2009Reproduction in captive elephants is low and infant mortality is high, collectively leading to possible population extinction. Artificial insemination was developed a decade ago; however, it relies on fresh-chilled semen from just a handful of bulls with inconsistent sperm quality.

Biochemical Studies on the Blood of Indian Elephants (Elephas maximus)
Research in Veterinary Science, 1969Summary Glucose, chloride, inorganic phosphate, cholesterol, calcium and magnesium levels have been determined in the blood of baby elephants, tuskers and adult non-lactating and lactating female elephants (Elephas maximus) so as to derive physiological norms for these constituents and to assess the influence of age, sex and lactation.

Medetomidine a novel immobilizing agent for the elephant (Elephas maximus)
Research in Veterinary Science, 2002Medetomidine was injected by the intramuscular route at the rates of 3 and 5 microg/kg body weight into two groups of Indian elephants (Elephas maximus). Sedation was induced at 6.20 (0.81) and 5.90 (0.60) min respectively after injection. The duration of anaesthesia was 66.20 (10.4) and 134.20 (24.12) min, respectively and recovery occurred at 125.80 (

Relative quantity judgment by Asian elephants (Elephas maximus)
Animal Cognition, 2008This study investigated whether Asian elephants can make relative quantity judgment (RQJ), a dichotomous judgment of unequal quantities ordered in magnitude. In Experiment 1, elephants were simultaneously shown two baskets with differing quantities of bait (up to 6 items).

Acoustic communication in the Asian elephant, Elephas maximus maximus
Behaviour, 2010Summary Existing knowledge of acoustic communication in elephants is based primarily on African species (Loxodonta africana and Loxodonta cyclotis). There has been comparatively less study of communication in Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). In order to provide a basis for understanding the evolution and function of acoustic communication in ...

Characterization of interdigital glands in the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)
Research in Veterinary Science, 2001In the Asian elephant, wetness akin to perspiration is commonly observed on the cuticles and interdigital areas of the feet; this observation has lead to speculation regarding the existence of an interdigital gland. Our goal was to search for interdigital glands and characterise them morphologically, histochemically, and immunohistochemically. Necropsy

ECCRINE CARCINOMA IN THE FOOT OF AN ASIAN ELEPHANT (ELEPHAS MAXIMUS)
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2013A case of eccrine carcinoma of the interdigital foot glands in a 39-yr-old female Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) from Zagreb Zoo is described. The tumor between the toenails of the right forefoot was surgically removed 3 yr before postmortem examination (2003), and the histopathologic diagnosis was compound eccrine carcinoma characterized with ...

Origin of the Elephants Elephas Maximus L. of Borneo
The Sarawak Museum Journal, 2007Under Elephas indicus, the Sarawak Museum register (p. 350) records a past holding of two skulls, without tusks of the Asiatic elephant (now Elephas maximus) collected in North Borneo by H.H. the Rajah and H.W Crocker, respectively, together with three isolated molars without provenance, and the disarticulated skeleton and mounted skin of a juvenile ...

Infrasonic calls of the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 1986Calls at frequencies below the range of human hearing were recorded from two groups of captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). Most of the calls ranged in frequency from 14 to 24 Hz, with durations of 10–15 s (Fig. 1). With the nearest elephant 5 m from the microphone, sound pressure levels were 85 to 90 dB (re 20 μPa).

Hearing in the elephant (Elephas maximus)
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1979The auditory sensitivity of a 7-year old female Indian elephant was determined using a two-choice procedure. The animal was trained to initiate a trial by pressing a “center” button and was rewarded with flavored sugar water for pressing a button to its left if a tone was presented or for pressing a button to its right if no tone was presented.
