agree  Luiza Modesto: Eu adicionaria a palavra adulto.. Elefante macho adulto... Em inglês pode-se dizer elephant calf tb, que é o filhote. Bull é sempre adulto.

agree  Marcelo Lino: "Bull" é a designação do macho maduro, sexualmente capaz, de diversos mamíferos de manada. Pode-se usar também: "elefante reprodutor", a fêmea (cow) seria "matriz".
