"The African [bush] elephant is the largest living terrestrial animal. Its thickset body rests on stocky legs and it has a concave back.^[5] Its large ears enable heat loss.^[6] Its upper lip and nose forms a trunk. The trunk acts as a fifth limb, a sound amplifier and an important method of touch. The African elephant's trunk ends in two opposing lips,^[7] whereas the Asian elephant trunk ends in a single lip.^[7] African elephants are bigger than Asian elephants. Males stand 3.2–4.0 m (10–13 ft) tall at the shoulder and weigh 4,700–6,048 kg (10,000–13,330 lb), while females stand 2.2–2.6 m (7.2–8.5 ft) tall and weigh 2,160–3,232 kg (4,800–7,130 lb).^[8]

The largest individual recorded stood four metres to the shoulders and weighed ten tonnes."
