Male Asian Elephants stand at around 10 to 11 feet tall at their shoulder. Female Asian Elephants stand around 7 to 9 feet tall. Weight wise, they weigh somewhere between 2.7 tonnes to 4.5 tonnes. Adult Tuskers can even cross this 4.5 tonnes weight. African Elephants are much taller and heavier than Asian Elephants
