The African elephant has the longest gestation period of any mammal, lasting approximately 22 months. During this time, the female elephant carries her developing offspring inside her uterus, providing it with nourishment and protection until it is fully formed.

Other mammals, such as whales, can also have long gestation periods, ranging from 10-18 months. However, the African elephant holds the record for the longest gestation period of any mammal.
