Baby elephants are born just like humans. When the parents, a male and a female elephant mate, the female elephant becomes pregnant. After a gestation period the baby elephant is born.
Elephants live as a big heard which comprises of dozens of females and a bunch of baby elephants too. Almost all female baby elephants stay with the herd all their lives. Whereas, the male baby elephants usually leave the herd when they are around 5 years or so. Once they are old enough to fend for themselves, they usually wander off and lead solitary lives.
Typically, elephants have only one baby at a time. But over a lifetime, a female elephant can have up to six babies.
