I am very interested in the elephant species, and in terms of developmental biology I'm intrigued by their long gestation period.

The article has lots of room for updating. It can provide more details on the physiology of African elephants, such as the paddings on their feet, how their trunk contains 100,000 muscles, or details of the 22 month gestation period. The long gestation period of any land animal, there's much to learn about it. Another developmental thing the article could explore is why elephants only have one offspring at a time, with twins being exceedingly rare(perhaps once every 50 years).
