Elephants also live around 60 years. They haves several sets of back teeth that continually grow to replace the ones they wear down from chewing tree branches and brush. When they have used their last set of teeth, they will typically starve to death. They also have one of the longest gestation periods, almost 2 years. The females don't reach sexual maturity for several years. That's why they are so worth protecting.
