Elephants do not carry their young. I don't know why, but they pick up huge trees with their trunks, and not their calves. Maybe they feel that it will hurt the baby, or maybe the baby's too heavy. After all, they weigh 200 pounds at birth. The only way they can guide their children is by having them hold on to their tails with their trunks, using their trunks to push them away from something, or by nudging them with their feet.
