They take part in sexual reproduction. Unlike plants who use asexual reproduction. They copulate just like all other mammals.

The same way as people, dogs, cats, horses, ect...
They mate pretty much in the same way as any mammal does. The female is mounted from behind and then all the action begins. However there are some differences like the gestation period of the female elephant is nearly 2 years. The pack is sometimes lead by the matriarch and wandering bulls will mate with season females. For the rest of the time the bull elephants are solitary creatures.

Elephants are mammals, so they reproduce via sexual reproduction. The physical relations are similar to other four-legged mammals including dogs and horses.

They migrate annually back to the beaches where they were born and typically reproduce during the winter (same place where they molt during the summer). The beaches that they migrate to are called rookeries.

When a female is in heat, her scent attract males (bulls) who court and mate with the female. After the mating, the males move off and the females take care of raising the youngster. Elephants have one of the longest gestation period among mammals. They are pregnant for a period of around 22 months. After the 22 month gestation, they giver birth to a calf that is approximately 250 pounds heavy and stands at around 2.5 feet tall

They go on a series of dates in the view that their opposing partner will find them attractive and wish to indulge in intercourse with them.

Pretty much like any other reasonably similar animal. The birth canal ends between the the hind legs of the cow, who usually remains upright while the calf is being expelled.

Standing. The male approaches female rear, places front legs on back of female, same as cattle, horses, dogs.
