Can you imagine carrying 200 pounds?

At least for an hour ?

In your hands ?

NO right?

Now , imagine carrying 200 pounds in your tummy for 22 months and then imagine giving birth to that 200 pound baby 

How does it feel?

" PAINFUL " will be the understatement of the century

Can you even imagine a diaper that BIG?

( I know this video is not of elephant birth but I love this video :D enjoy)

The first mom on our list earns her spot for giving birth to the biggest babies on Earth — we're talking an average of 200 pounds here! (Can you even imagine a diaper that large?)

 Female elephants also deserve a prize for enduring a 22-month pregnancy. 

The calves are initially born blind, forcing them to rely on their trunks for navigation and discovery, but fortunately, they live in a matriarchal society.

 Once the baby is born, the other "ladies" in the herd all lend a hand, including grandmothers, sisters, aunts and even cousins.

 These full-time baby-sitters are called "Allomothers," and they help in every aspect of rearing the young calves — so in this case, it really does take a village to raise an elephant!

So, salute to elephant moms

happy birthday mom

I love you
