Hey guys. in this video you will see the mating of elephants and how these large mammals defend themselves against predators. let's go. Elephants are social animals and their reproduction is an important part of their group lives. Females are fertile from 10 to 15 years old and can continue to reproduce until about 40 years old. An elephant's menstrual cycle lasts about 22 weeks and gestation can last from 22 to 24 months, which is the longest among all mammals. When an elephant is in heat, males begin to compete for its attention. When a male is chosen, he approaches the female and begins to caress her trunk and body with his own trunk. This can lead to mating, which lasts from a few minutes to several hours. When it comes to defending themselves against poachers or other predators, elephants have a number of strategies they use. They are very strong animals and can use their body mass and trunk to ward off or attack threats. Also, they are social animals and protect each other, especially the females protecting their young. In case of greater threats, such as attack by hunters with guns, elephants can band together and protect each other. In terms of traits, elephants are known for their intelligence, long-term memory and empathy. They are also known for their unique trunk, which is used for catching food, communicating with other elephants and defending themselves. Another distinctive feature of elephants is their large body mass, which can reach more than 6 tons. They also have large ears that help regulate their body temperature and are also used for signaling.
