African Elephants
African elephants are not only born nearly blind but they rely on their trunks and mothers for everything, their mums will usually nurse them for four to six years. Females will stay with their natal herd for the rest of their lives, but males leave the group between the ages of 9 and 18.

Orangutans
After the birth of a baby orangutan and for about four months, the infant never loses physical contact with the mum. For the first two years of their lives, they completely depend on their mothers who may nurse them until they are six years old and have learned all the survivals skills required to manage on their own.​
