DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that Elephants are the largest land animals in the world? The largest elephant on record was an adult male African elephant. It weighed about 24,000 pounds and was 13 feet tall at the shoulder! Elephants can live to be over 70 years old and Elephants are the only mammal that can't jump. The average weight for an elephant heart is about 27 to 46 pounds! Also, Elephants have a highly developed brain and the largest of all the land mammals. The brain is 3 or 4 times larger than that of humans although smaller as a proportion of body weight! (http://www.happyelephantcontest.com)
