African Elephants
Known as the biggest land animal on Earth, the average African elephant grows anywhere from ten to 13 foot tall and can weigh between 10,000 to 13,000 pounds. African elephants use their tusks to dig the ground for food and also to battle one another. These massive creatures are known to show sudden bursts of aggressiveness and are believed to have a vindictive attitude as well, stampeding through villages and running over animals and people in their rage. With populations dwindling due to illegal hunting, the elephant is considered an endangered species.
