Elephants is one of the largest mammals in the planet and is considered an endangered species. Elephants are classified into two, which is the African Elephant, with a scientific name Loxodonta africana, which is generally found at the African continent and the Asian Elephant with scientific name Elephas maximus, which is living in countries such as India, Nepal, and South East Asia.
With regards to the average weight of adult elephants located in Africa, the male specie may reach to an average weight at most 15,000 lbs., while female specie may reach to an average weight of at most 8,000 lbs. Whereas the Asian version of the elephant adult, the maximum weight for males and females is 11,000 lbs and 6,000 lbs., respectively.
Accordingly, "the largest elephant on record was an adult male African elephant. It weighed about 24,000 pounds (10,886 kilograms) and was 13 feet (3.96 meters) tall at the shoulder."
