Competing Interests
Randall Moore acquired the three males, along with others, to expand his captive herd. It was always his plan to release these males when they reached adolescence. Elephant Back Safaris (Plc) Ltd, from where the elephants were released, was a source of funding. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. The authors have declared no other competing interests exist.
