Baby elephants are much cuter than the gentle giants we all know and adore. It’s past time to express our gratitude to these fuzzy-headed lovely animals that will ultimately become the mammoths of the future.
Elephant calves are often born weighing 250 pounds and standing 3 feet tall. They’re clumsy for approximately three months after birth and have little control over their trunks, which they frequently trip over. As if that wasn’t enough of a hustle, calves often consume three gallons of milk every day, a habit they may maintain for up to ten years. That’s a tough order for any mother of a wild animal! Male elephants leave the herd after about 12 years, but female elephants stay with their families for life, which is great news for elephant parents who can’t bear the thought of their adorable elephant daughters leaving the nest.
