" Elephant courtship behavior can be very subtle at times. The behaviour the female here is displaying is known as “Wariness”. She is looking over her shoulder at the musth male who is following her, keeping just the right pace to maintain her distance from him. She is keeping her distance waiting for the right moment to accept to mate with him, and yet staying close enough to him to ensure that she isn’t mounted by the younger male behind him, or those to the side of her, outside our view.

This coy behavior is typical of early estrus, before a female goes into full consort with a musth male. The musth male behind her has a good chance to become her consort, or guarding male, unless an even higher ranking musth male hears her powerful calls and comes to claim her. "
