An elephant's gestation period lasts about 22 months (630-660 days), the longest gestation period of any mammal, after which one calf typically is born. Twins are rare.

Look it up on wikipedia under Elephants, the section on reproduction. The term you're looking for is "gestation period (that means "how long they are pregnant").

Like two years.

If copulation is successful, then 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.)
