In this video, we'll take a look at the top 5 animals with the longest pregnancies, including the elephant, orca, frilled shark, and Aldabra giant tortoise.

African elephant: The African elephant has the longest pregnancy of any mammal, at 22 months. This is because elephants are the largest land mammals on Earth, and their babies need time to develop.
Orca: Orcas, also known as killer whales, have a gestation period of 16-17 months. This is longer than most other cetaceans, such as dolphins and whales.
Frilled shark: The frilled shark has a gestation period of 2-3 years, which is the longest of any fish. This is because frilled sharks are slow-moving predators that live in deep ocean waters, and their babies need time to develop in the cold, dark environment.
Aldabra giant tortoise: Aldabra giant tortoises have a gestation period of 22-28 months, which is the longest of any tortoise species. This is because Aldabra giant tortoises are the largest tortoise species on Earth, and their babies need time to develop their large shells.
These animals have to wait a long time for their babies to be born, but it's worth it in the end!
