The elephant's gestation period is 22 months, the longest of any land animal. At birth it is common for an elephant calf to weigh 120 kg (265 lb).

Usually 22 months but an elephant can carry her young several months longer if the elephant population gets too large.

Gestation for an elephant is 108 months. That's 9 years in human terms.

The pregnancy lasts for around 22 months.
This is one of the longest gestation periods in the animal kingdom. (The blue whale, for example, has a gestation period of around 1 year.)

I think I remember the gestation period is 11 months. Straight from memory so do a quickie internet search to verify.
Actually, double that, it's around 22 months.
