Height growth curves of a) females and b) males. Solid curves are derived from average measurements of captive-born elephants (n = 170 and 159); dotted curves are derived from average measurements of all elephants, of both wild- and captive-birth origin (n = 240 and 189); Dashed curves are derived from all captive-born elephants, including historic height data, and take ID into account (n = 22 and 26). Points are from all the elephants of that sex
