Baby Elephants are one of the largest and heavies babies at birth. At birth, they weigh approximately 250 pounds and can stand at around 2.5 feet tall. Elephant calves feed exclusively on their mother's milk for the first few months and grow rapidly in both size and weight. They slowly move on to solid diet like grass and fruits after a few months of age. At the end of a year or so, they weigh over a 1000 pounds.

The diet of a new born baby elephant calf is entirely its mothers milk. Baby elephants do not start eating grass and other vegetation atleast until they are a few months old. Even if they do start eating grass, they suckle for as long as 2 years or more
