Male elephants, called bulls, begin producing sperm between 10 & 15 years of age, sometimes even earlier in zoos. Typically, wild female elephants will begin reproducing at 12-14 years of age; again, sometimes earlier in zoos.

When elephant baby dies what will they do?
An amazing thing about elephants is their sensitivity about death. When a elephant dies the herd has a funeral. They are silent like they were remembering the elephant. They pick about the bones and hold them. They will try to identify the elephant by looking at the skull. Elephants do not act like this around other dead animals. If a member of a herd starts to die the herd tries to bring it back to life by lifting it. Elephants also cry when a herd member dies. Later if the herd passes the same spot where a family member died the herd will stand still and be silent. These animals are truly human.
How do elephants eat with their noses?
The elephant's nose, more properly called a trunk, has an ability to grasp and hold things, much like a human hand, so that it can be used to bring food to the elephant's mouth.

Why do African baby elephants hold onto their moms tail?
Because, like all mammals. Elephant calves are helpless by themselves when they are born. They are pretty much like human kids who are entirely dependent on their parents for their survival. So they stay with their mother and her herd so that the elders can protect them and teach them how to survive. The lessons learnt by baby elephants from their mother and herd helps them survive for the rest of their life.

Why do only humans have emotionals when every other animal does not?
It is simply not true that humans are the only ones with emotions and not animals. Example: When a herd of elephants has one sick elephant that is ready to die the herd encircles the sick elephant (sometimes helping to hold the sick elephant up) and walks to their special bone yard (so to speak) and the herd will stay with the sick elephant until it dies. It is also a known fact that elephants cry and mourn after the death. Apes are the closest to humans and can show many human emotions.
Are elephants smart?
Elephants are incredibly smart, plus they have the best memory of any creature on earth, man included. Not only are elephant brains very large, but they're denser than most animals. This means they have more cells and brain matter in their brains. Importantly, to be smart, you have to have a good memory. The part of the brain that houses memory is known as the temporal lobe. An elephant's temporal lobes are more developed than that of man. But this is where it gets really interesting. When a human baby is born, its brain is relatively smooth. As the baby grows and learns, its brain develops folds and fissures to store and hold information. So, an adult human's brain has much more texture, crevices, wrinkles, and folds than a baby's. Elephants have more folds and crevices in their temporal lobes than humans do. This means that they can store and hold more information than a human and that their memories are better. Memory is the foundation of intelligence.
