Life Cycle Of Baby African Elephant
Female elephants only give birth every five years or so and they carry the calf for about 22 months (635-655
days) which makes it the longest gestation period for any mammal.
The calf weighs between 200-250 pounds at birth and it grows at the astonishing rate of about 2 pounds every day which is not really that surprising considering how much catching up he has to do to become full grown.
