Yes - you guessed it! And right in front of our patrol post just the other day.

Elephants have a gestation period of 22 months - the longest of any land animal (they are of course also the biggest land animal alive today). Elephant calfs weigh about 120 kilos. So I hope we will see one in the not too distant future!
