African Elephant
The largest living land animal, a mammal, weighs up to 6 tons and can grow up to 10 feet tall. These magnificent creatures live 60-70 years. Elephants are the same way about their tusks as humans are about their hands: Some are “lefties,” others are “righties.” They’ll favor that tusk when fighting other Elephants, picking things up, or stripping leaves and bark off trees.
