The African elephant is the largest land animal, with males standing 3.2 metres or 10 ft to 4 metres or 13 ft at the shoulder. They weigh around 3,500 kilograms up to a reported 12,000 kilograms. The female is smaller, standing about 3 metres or 9.8 ft at the shoulder.

Asian Elephants are not as large as their African cousins but can weigh around 5,400 kg and stand over 3.4 m or 11 ft tall

there is no real way of rating which one is more aggressive they both get aggressive depending on the threat an elephant will not get aggressive unless it needs to or feels the need to ex.if you threaten it by hitting it or throwning stuff at them,them they will both get aggressive,if you harm their young you are in even more trouble elephants of any kind are a very protective of each other and they also have an EXTREAMLY good memory

both elaphants are aggressive when it comes down to it as for which one is more aggressive im not sure if anyone has ever(or even wants to) find out

elaphants are usually peaceful and can be tamed,stattle boken(alows a person to ride on the back of the elaphant on a stattle)and trained

i hope ive helped! ~Agashe ' )

Yes. African Elephants are much larger and heavier than the Indian Elephants. Male African elephants stand at around 10 to 13 feet tall at their shoulder and weigh between 10000 to 13000 pounds. Female African elephants stand at around 7.2 to 8.5 feet tall at their shoulder and weigh between 4500 to 7000 pounds

Their Indian counterparts are around a feet or 2 shorter than the African elephants and weigh approximately a 1000 pounds or more lesser than them.
