♨♂ Intimate Elephant's Encounter {Elephant Mating}♀♨

Elephant Mating...

Elephants are one of the wonders of nature. Many researchers have agreed that the elephant is the closest animal to man. It has many social features that are similar to human life in general. Especially in the way they live or during their mating, Elephants are the largest animals that live on land today. Each elephant is about four meters long and weighs about 7.5 tons. It is long-lived and devours huge amounts of food, but it has few children. The female gives birth to one newborn, weighing about 115 kilograms, after a gestation period of about 646 days. It is the longest period of pregnancy for a female animal.

Perhaps the reason for the lack of elephants’ reproduction is God’s mercy on us as human beings. If these elephants reproduce at the same rate at which humans or other animals reproduce, they would have wiped out the green and the land on the globe. Especially since the elephant's life span ranges between eighty and one hundred and twenty years. While the elephant daily eats more than two hundred kilograms of leaves and branches of trees and drinks about 150 liters of water.
It is common knowledge that male elephants ascend the males in the mating season over the tops of the mountains where the weather is cold in order to be able to reproduce. The female elephant gives birth to one baby approximately every four years. During pregnancy, the female searches for a specific type of tree to eat its leaves. These leaves are not the main food of the female elephant and they usually do not eat them. Which made the observers marvel at this matter. But when this behavior was examined, research confirmed that these leaves contain a natural substance that contributes to an easy and quick birth. While the female elephant is the only one in the animal world that gives birth to her young while standing, so she notices as the date of birth approaches, and she has been looking for a source of water to give birth to her young, which is what protects him from breaking his bones or his death.
Elephant herds are characterized by affection and tenderness. But the most affectionate relationship is that between a mother and her newborn. Soon after mating, the female elephant gives birth surrounded by her female relatives, who gather around the newborn, making gentle noises and trying to touch and pick up the newborn. While elephant mothers are exceptionally immersed in raising and caring for their newborn, they always cuddle their babies and indulge their every need. There are many stories of heroism and sacrifice of elephant mothers to protect their babies.
But motherhood can often be a stressful task. Where the mother needs a respite from these heavy tasks. Here comes the role of the little elephants in the herd. The job of these elephants is to follow the young and watch and wake them when the herd moves to another place. They also help them if they get stuck in mud or bushes. They also run to their aid if they make a distress call. This is in addition to chasing them and returning them to the herd if they wander away. When these young elephants reach maturity at around the age of fourteen, the females are taught to take care of the children and the males are removed from the herd.
And if the issue of birth carries a great deal of emotion for elephants, so does death. In contrast to other animals, elephants seem to be conscious of their own mortality. Sometimes birth and death occur together. If the baby is stillborn, the herd waits while the bereaved mother stands alone for a day or two, carrying her dead child on her fangs. Whereas if an adult elephant dies—whether it died a natural death or something else—others would stand beside its carcass for a long time, caressing it with their feet or trunks, and sometimes weeping with tears. Then they return the next day to pay their respects, and then bury the body by covering it with dirt or twigs..
