Seventeen African and Asian elephants at zoos in the UK, Canada, US, Australia and Germany, including ZSL Whipsnade and Twycross Zoo, were examined in the study.

Dr Lueders said the extended pregnancy was due to a novel hormonal mechanism, which has not been described in any other species of animal.
