10 Facts About Elephants
1. Size and Weight
Elephants hold the title of the biggest land animals on earth. While contrasting African elephants with their Asian partners, it is obvious that African elephants are bigger. Grown-up male African elephants can reach heights of around 10 to 13 feet and weigh anywhere between 4,500 and 12,000 kg. Then again, Asian elephants are somewhat more modest, remaining at around 6.6 to 9.8 feet tall and weighing between 2,700 and 5,500 kg.
