(a) Changes of capric (solid symbols) and lauric acids (open symbols) and (b) of palmitic (solid symbols) and oleic acids (open symbols) in milk of African elephants during lactation (Shorty (●○), Bloem (♦◊) Mussina (■□), and others (▲Δ)). Trend lines for combined data of all elephants were y = −0.0617x² + 2.802x + 32.557 and R² = 0.9421 for C10:0, y = 0.0203x² − 0.8453x + 26.226 and R² = 0.4451 for C12:0, y = 0.0211x² − 0.9033x + 11.591 and R² = 0.7818 for 16:0, and y = 0.0217x² − 1.018x + 13.997 and R² = 0.6586 for C18:1c9.
