It usually takes Asian elephants, one of the animals with the longest pregnancy duration, 20 to 22 months to produce a calf. However, in Yunnan Province in southwest China, nearly every elephant herd has welcomed newborns in recent years.

Bao Mingwei, 42, a senior veterinarian at an elephant reserve in Yunnan province, thinks he knows the secret of his innate ability to attract the giant creatures. "Maybe I just smell like them," he said.

At the Asian Elephant Breeding and Rescue Center in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, staff referred to as "elephant parents" work at least 10 hours a day bathing and rehabilitating these giant animals.

These Asian elephants returned to their original habitat in Mengyang area of Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve on Dec. 9, 2021, where they have remained to the present day.
