How much does an elephant weigh?
At birth, Asian elephants weigh from 150 to 250 pounds (males are heavier than females). Fully grown, males weigh in at 10,000 to 20,000 pounds, and females at 8,000 to 10,000 pounds. Standing up to 10 feet in height, they are, together with the African elephant, the largest living land animals. Despite their size, elephants are agile and graceful in their movements.
