Few available measurements show that they are of similar size to other populations of the Sunda subregion. [2] Morphological measurements of fifteen captive elephants from Peninsular Malaysia and of six elephants from Sabah were taken between April 2005 and January 2006, and repeated three times for each elephant and averaged. There was no ...
The genus contains the largest known species of elephants, over 4 metres (13 ft) tall at the shoulders and over 13 tonnes (29,000 lb) in weight, representing among the largest land mammals ever, including the African Palaeoloxodon recki, the European straight-tusked elephant (Palaeoloxodon antiquus) and the South Asian Palaeoloxodon namadicus.
The overall body length was said to be 35 ft (10.67 m) measured from the tip of the outstretched trunk to the tip of the outstretched tail. Some claims of very large elephants have been found to be inaccurate upon further scientific inspection. Even if the claim of this elephant is accurate, individuals of this size are extremely rare.

Size and Weight. African elephants have much larger tusks compared to Asian elephants. ... African elephants are 10-12 feet tall and weigh 8,000-12,000 pounds, while Asian elephants are 7-10 feet ...
A 2015 study alternately suggested that fully grown African forest elephant males in optimal condition were only on average 2.2 metres (7.2 ft) tall and 2,000 kilograms (4,400 lb) in weight, with the largest individuals (representing less than 1 in 100,000 as a proportion of the total population) no bigger than 2.75 metres (9.0 ft) tall and ...
In a 2015 study of specimens from Spinagallo Cave, a composite adult male specimen MPUR/V n1 was estimated to measure 96.5 cm (3 ft 2.0 in) in shoulder height and about 305 kg (672 lb) in weight, a composite adult female specimen MPUR/V n2 80 cm (2 ft 7.5 in) in shoulder height and about 168 kg (370 lb) in weight, and a composite newborn male ...
Pygmy hippos tend to ignore each other rather than fight when they meet. Field studies have estimated that male pygmy hippos range over 1.85 km 2 (460 acres), while the range of a female is 0.4 to 0.6 km 2 (100–150 acres). [8] Two dive in water at Singapore Zoo, Singapore. Pygmy hippos spend most of the day hidden in rivers.
