Elephants live in a complex matriarchal society normally composed of 8 to 15 related members and led by a dominant cow. Three or four generations of cows and calves spend their entire lives together with the exception of males, who leave the group at puberty. Groups of related families stay in fairly close range of each other and communicate often; these are called "kin groups". In times of danger, kin groups will mass and form"clans" of 200 or more. Ongoing studies at Amboseli Research Center in Kenya indicate a complex bull dominance structure which determines mating success as well as every day life. Another primary mating factor is "musth", a periodic hormonal cycle seen in both species. Physical manifestations in males include heavy secretions from temporal glands, high blood testosterone levels, urine dribbling (marking) and aggression. Cows seem to prefer a musth bull, but can successfully breed whether the bull is in musth or not. According to keepers, our cows' oestrus cycles are roughly 15-16 week ones and last 3 days. Gestation is approximately 22 months. The birth is usually a single one; twins are born only 1.35% of the time. Birth weight is 175 to 250 pounds. The mother is often assisted by another cow during birthing. The calf can stand shakily and nurse (with mouth, not trunk) a few hours after birth. Mammary glands are located between the front legs. Although calves usually start eating other food in their first year and could survive if weaned at two and a half years of age, they will nurse until the birth of the next calf (usually 4-5 years) and are very dependent on their mothers for eight to ten years. Adolescence occurs at 12 to 14 years of age. Most physical growth is reached at 20, but growth continues throughout life. Top mental ability is at age 30 to45. Death comes at age 65 to 70 when the last set of teeth wear out. They literally starve to death.
A mother Elephant mates with another elephant and produce a bayby elephant then when the elephant is old enough he or she will mate and so on
First, it goes on a shopping spree in elephants R us. Then, it goes to get its nail polish at elephant tips. Finally, she goes to Zac Efron's party.
I am wondering the same thing, anyone having the answer please solve!
First of all the elephant lives, gives birth and dies
the elephant is born, it grows up, is mates, it gives birth, lives for of its life, then dies,
The average life expectancy of the African elephant is about 60 years.
The stages through which a plant or animal goes through in life is called the life cycle. Each plant or animal species has a different life cycle.
They say it's because they never forget. If you show an elephant once they will have it for life. LMAO!
The two stages of life of ferns are the sporophytic and the gametophytic stage

Elephants have 9 evolution stages. Palaeomastodon. Gomphotherium. Primelephas. Anancus. Mammuthus ( mammoth ). Elephas ( Asian Elephant ). Loxodonta ( African Elephant ). Mammut ( Mammut ). and the Stegodon.

yes flyers do have life stages
A chicken has 3-stages life cycle, not 4 -stages life cycle
What are the main stages of an animal life

2 stages
Stages on Life's Way was created in 1845.
There is no animal that has 2 stages of life cycle. Most animals have at least 3 stages of life cycle.
