Papo - Figurine - Young elephant - WILD LIFE Collection - Ref.50225

In elephants, the gestation period varies from 18 to 22 months and a female can only give birth to one calf at a time, although the latter weighs around one hundred kilos! The baby elephant quickly becomes independent and learns to follow its mother quickly. To feed, he suckles, with his mouth and not his trunk, until he is two years old, however, it is from the age of three months that he begins to eat plants! While females spend their lives within their original family, males leave the group at the age of 10.
