Description
Elephants are the largest animal that lives on land. They are HUGE! A male elephant can stand 12 feet (3.75 metres) tall at the shoulders. It can weigh up to 26,000 pounds (12,000 kg). That means one elephant can weigh as much as 13 small trucks!
Elephants have four very strong legs. Their legs are like posts. They have to be large enough to hold all the muscles an elephant needs to stand and walk around. Their legs are so big around that a grown woman can barely reach her arms all the way around one leg!
Elephants have a huge, round body. It is so big that 10 children can sit on top of an elephant at once!
