Best Answer

A female elephant is actually called a cow. A baby elephant is called a calf, and the male is called a bull.
A female elephant is called a cow, a male is called a bull, and a baby is called a calf. The longest living elephant on record lived for 70 years, but the average life expectancy is 40 to 65 years.
Techhnically, it's is called a Cow elephant, but when you see a group pf elephants, your can assume the adults are all females. The oldest 'cow' elephant, or 'Matriarch' is in charge of the herd (she is usually the mother of most of the female elephants). The male or bull elephants only stay with the herd until they reach puberty, then they're on their own and only come around the females for mating purposes.
