African elephants are the biggest land animals on the planet, standing up to 13 feet tall and weighing as much as 14,000 pounds. They are even bigger than their elephant cousins in Asia. You can tell them apart because their ears actually look like the shape of Africa. You can find them in Western, Eastern, and Southern Africa, in both dense forests and wide open deserts.
