African Elephant

Aftrican Elephants are the heaviest land animal, and the second tallest in the animal kingdom, standing, as a bull, at about twelve feet, with a trunk that usually measure five feet long. The two finer-like projections on the tip are so dextrous they can pick a blade of grass, while the trunk itself is so strong it is capable of lifting 600 pounds. The incisor teeth develop into tusks about 8 feet long and can weigh about 130 pounds.
