Relevant Literature about Pregnancy
As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases
Pregnancy is the time during which one or more offspring develops (gestates) inside a pregnant female's
Uterus
.
Elephants in good body condition should gain no more than 5% of their body weight during pregnancy.
Each pregnancy leaves permanent damage on the
Endometrium
that is repaired by scar tissue so that the number of pregnancies can be determined during autopsy by counting these scars.
Anatomical, Physiological, Behavioral and Pathological Aspects of the Estrous Cycle in Elephants, by Robert Hermes
14 Elephants declared pregnant.
