Best Answer

Fighting usually occurs between rival males during a hormonal surge known as must. They battle for dominance and the right to breed, but fatalities are avoided if at all possible; they still respect each other (at least, to some degree).

yes because their tusk help them protect from danger so sometimes when humans come to close the humans could get killed by a stampede or its powerful tusks.

Yes they do. Males fight over territorial disputes and mating rights while females will fight off intruders into the herd especially if there are young calves in the herd.

Bull elephants will fight over the sole sexual right to mate with the breeding females belonging to the herd.
