The article states that the population of elephants tripled from January to June in 2006. As the gestation period of an elephant is 22 months, it would be impossible for the statement to be true.
- Perhaps you're unfamiliar with Stephen Colbert's suggestion that Wikipedia's articles regarding elephants be vandalized to include the mention of their population tripling in 6 months. --Interiot 14:44, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
This page does not reference any of its statements, and contains several that are patently untrue--a surprisingly large number for such a short article. There is an overwhelming amount of evidence for the evolution of elephants, not from sea cows as stated in the article but from a common ancestor.
This should probably be merged with the page on Elephants (pl.) and forward to there, since that article is already longer and cited.
