Baby animals for from 6 months to 2 or 3 years, the longest being elephants and some primates. Young gorillas remain with their mothers for as long as 6 years.

Baby humans are dependent on their parents for at least 2 years, and to a lesser degree for another 10, through puberty. This is not a biological necessity, but a social one, as the integration into society differs at the three levels: childhood, adolescence, and pubescence. Humans gain adult status between the ages of 15 and 21, with restrictions on their activities in most societies.
