Can African Elephants have twins?

Female African elephants have been known to have twins, but it is very rare. Usually they only have one calf. Baby elephants can weigh 250 lbs (about 113kg) at birth so carrying around two for 22 months inside the mother would be a lot of work!

  1. It very clearly says “female African elephants have been known to have twins, but it is very rare”.
    And the answer goes on to state why it’s rare.
    I don’t see any part of the answer that states: a female African elephant cannot have twins. I also see no part of the answer that sounds ambiguous.
