Elephant ovary and uterus

The uterus and ovaries of an elephant fetus at 17.5 month of gestation. The ovary on the left is still enclosed within its ovarial sac (Scale bar = 50 mm).

Ovary from a 20.2 month old elephant fetus on the left and a 6 month old calf on the right showing great shrinkage around the time of birth due to the reduction in both the size and number of interstitial cells (Scale bar = 20 mm).
