The Alpine black salamander (D) has the longest gestation period-a whole 38 months. As its name implies, it can be found in the Swiss Alps. While these salamanders can live at different elevations, the higher the elevation, the longer the gestation period. When you get up to 1,402 meters (4,600'), the gestation period can last up to 38 months. The salamander bears two young at a time. A "pregnant pause" in the salamander world can mean a long, long wait.
The longest gestation period for a mammal is that of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) with an average of 660 days, and a maximum of 760 days (12 to 13 months).
