    An elephant pregnancy lasts around 22 months, meaning that new born baby elephants are not small! A baby elephant is called a calf and can weigh between 200 and 300 lbs and stand about 3 feet (1 m) tall.

    No.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    63 kg = 36 * 2.2 pounds

    = 138.6 pounds.

    Multiplying this by 2.5:

    138.6 * 2.5

    = 346.5 pounds

    The calf weighs 310 pounds so that is not 2.5 times as Sarah's weight.
