The heaviest recorded modern day elephant was an African elephant which weighed 12 tons. It was a bull elephant shot dead in Angola, in 1974.
Asian elephants are huge, but are generally smaller than the African savanna species. Asian elephants grow up to 21 feet long, stand up to ten feet tall, and weigh up to 11,000 pounds. Females reach about eight and a half feet tall and weigh less than males.

∙ 9y agoJust like a rhinos horn, an elephant's tusks grows throughout its life, so in a way you can say that it would grow back.
Working Indian elephants, and circus elephants may well have to have their tusks trimmed more than once in their life.
However, the growth is too slow for there to be any money in keeping elephants for controlled "tusk harvesting".

The most telling difference is the size of their ears and the presence of tusks. African elephants have much larger, more rounder ears than Asian elephants do, and tend to be able to have tusks more often. Asian elephants, on the other hand, have much smaller and more square or triangle-shaped ears (which ever shape you prefer) than African elephants do. A tusked Asian elephant (called Tuskas) is more rare than an Asian elephant with no tusks.
