How many young does the elephant produce?

Answer 1

One at a time..the gestation period is very long. The elephant's gestation period is 22 months, the longest of any land animal. At birth it is common for an elephant calf to weigh 120 kilograms (265 lb). That would mean that ,technically, they could have an baby elephant every 2-2 1/2 years until the elephant reaches about 45 yrs old. If you mean how many in a lifetime of an elephant...depends on the elephant...elephants have a life span of up to 70 years. If the elephant is in a zoo, life span is about 35 years.

Answer 2

Elephants typically give birth to one calf at a time, although twins can occur very rarely. The gestation period for elephants is around 22 months, which is the longest of any land mammal.
