Abstract
Elephants have a unique reproductive system with
prolonged gestation (20-22 months) and complex endocrine regulation. The female
reproductive tract has distinct anatomy, and the estrous cycle features dual LH
surges. Diagnostic approaches like hormonal profiling and ultrasonography aid
reproductive monitoring. Understanding these processes is crucial for
conservation, breeding programs, and veterinary care, ultimately supporting
species sustainability. Their reproductive biology is shaped by anatomy,
endocrinology, and behavior, requiring specialized approaches for effective
management.
