Q:What do you call a male adult elephant? And an adult female? What about a baby?
Elephants have little in common with cattle, but they share with them the names for adult male (bull), adult female (cow) and juvenile (calf). Even their collective noun is the same: a herd of elephants.

ELEPHANTS-
They are called BULL, COW and CALF -
see excerpts from http://www.answers.com/elephant - Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, published by Columbia University Press-
Elephants are browsing animals, feeding on fruits, leaves, shoots, and tall grasses; they consume hundreds of pounds of food a day and drink up to 50 gal (190 liters) of water. They have no fixed living place, but travel about in herds of up to 100 animals, led by a young, strong male and including young bulls (males), cows (females), and calves.-

It's the same when referring to the farm animal - the Cow. :-) You're basically referring to the terms: Cow, Calf and Bull.
A baby elephant is called a calf. It's mother is called a cow, and the father is called a Bull.
