Different morphometric measurements of 84 male elephants and 35 female elephants were taken. A total morphometric data of 119 animals belonging to 5 different places were analyzed by multiple regression analysis revealed that age was influenced by parameters like shoulder height and body length in males, right tusk girth was more significantly effecting than left tusk girth, whereas chest girth was more influenced by age in female elephants. Using this data the best fit equation was derived for male and female elephants separately to determine the age Y = - 61.254 + 0.277(H) ** + 0.536(L) ** Where, Y = age in years, H = height, L = length, ** represents that H and L is significantEnglishThesis
