When she comes into estrus, a short phase of receptiveness, lasting for 2-4 days. The elephant’s gestation period is 18-22 months, the longest of any land animal. The Elephant Life Cycle, the oldest elephant on record died at the age of 82 in Sri Lanka but typically elephants live to 60-70 years old.
