Are elephants oviparous or viviparous?

Elephants are viviparous, meaning they give birth to live young rather than laying eggs. Female elephants have a long gestation period of about 22 months, which is one of the longest among mammals. After this period, they typically give birth to a single calf, although twins can occur on rare occasions. This reproductive strategy allows for the development of the young in a protected environment within the mother's body.
