context: Pregnancy in elephants is the longest among mammals - 20-22 months. The female brings 1 developed cub, twins are rare (only 1-2% of genera). A newborn baby elephant weighs 90-120 kg with a shoulder height of about 1 m, its trunk is short, there are no tusks. The birth occurs in a distance from the rest of the herd, often giving birth to the female is accompanied by a “midwife”. Fifteen to thirty minutes after birth, the baby elephant rises to its feet and can follow its mother. Until the age of 4, he needs maternal care, and young immature females of 2-11 years old, who are thus preparing for the role of the mother, also look after him. Studies in Amboseli (Kenya, 1992) showed that the more “nannies” take care of offspring, the more cubs survive. Milk feeding lasts up to 1.5-5 years, although the cubs begin to eat solid food at the age of 6 months and are able to completely switch to it by 2 years. Childbirth occurs once every 2.5–9 years; an elephant calf usually remains with its mother until the next birth. A study of elephants in Addo National Park (South Africa, 2000) showed that 95% of sexually mature elephants under the age of 49 are pregnant or nursing offspring.
