Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth. In the wild, a male African elephant may stand 10-12 ft tall at the shoulder and weigh 5-6 tons. The huge bull elephants may weigh as much as 14,000 lb.

The largest bull elephant in Amboseli National Park, Dionysus, weighed about 15,000 lb and had tusks well over 100 lb.
