The elephant has one of the most amazing journeys through the womb from one-centimetre foetus to birth as a calf weighing 118 kilograms. All in 22 months. Imagine being pregnant for that long.
Researchers for a two-hour documentary film, Animals in the Womb, used scans to track elephant calves for the first time during their 22-month gestation — the longest of any mammal.
