Best Answer

It appears it would be the African Bush Elephant

Actually all elephants are put into one category when this question is asked, so elephants are the biggest and actually hippos the river horses are the 2nd but the fastest is the cheetah at the speed of 29m per second.

Hippopotamus is the second largest land animal of the earth after African elephant. The word Hippopotamus or Hippo is ancient Greek word which means ?The river horse?. This herbivorous animal found in sub Saharan Africa and adult male animal can be as heavy as 3,000 kg therefore it is considered as the third heaviest animal in the world. The population of this aggressive and ferocious animal is around 125000 to 150000.

I would say a clam because on the news it said that they found a clam that was 220 years old-that is -until they killed it. It is the second because the turtle lives up to 300 years.
