How much does an elephant weigh?

Answer by  Wraith (191)

Three species of elephant are living today: the African Bush Elephant, the African Forest Elephant and the Asian Elephant. The largest elephant ever recorded, an African Bush Elephant, was shot in Angola in 1956. This male weighed about 24,000 lbs and stood 13 feet tall at the shoulders which is about 3ft taller than an average bull of that species.

An elephant's weight depends on the species. An African male generally weighs up to 15000 pounds and an adult female weighs around 8000 pounds. Biggest on record was 24000 pounds.
