African bush elephants are the largest living terrestrial animals, one of the largest being up to 3.96 m (13.0 ft) tall at the shoulders (a male shot in 1974). On average, males are 3.3 metres (10.8 ft) tall at the shoulders

Bull Asian elephants commonly weigh from 4,500 to 5,400 kg (9,900 to 12,000 lb) and are often around 3.1 m (10 ft) high at the shoulder.

African forest elephants are the smallest of the three extant species of elephant. The male African forest elephant rarely exceeds 2.5 metres (8 ft) in height.

Elephants are an absolute wonder. Amazing creatures with so much more to learn about then just there height. Hopefully this helps you.
