How African Elephant Behave?
A lifetime African Safari makes you access a little information on these intelligent giants (Pachyderms). Do you know that the female elephant will have a gestation period of 22 months after a successful mating session and baby elephants grow up very much like humans, only start to mature in their teen years. Under normal conditions female elephants and their juveniles live together in close family units while the mature males usually remain solitary. This matriarchal society is based on a group of related females and their young offspring but may also include some unrelated individuals that have joined the group. A family group usually consists of anywhere between 2 and 40 elephants with the females normally remaining within this family for the rest of their lives. Different family groups often join together to form larger herds of elephants with the matriarch in most cases being the oldest mother.
