The biggest mammal on earth at the moment is the blue whale, although it does not technically live on 'earth' it is the biggest mammal.
Blue whales can be up to 32.9m (108 feet) long and weigh more than 172 metric tonnes. This makes them not only the biggest mammal to be alive now but that has ever existed!
However it is impossible to get a completely accurate idea of how much a blue whale actually weighs due to their size. Even thoughs caught by fishermen had to be chopped up into pieces which were then individually weighed. But this is not completely accurate due to all the blood and other fluids which could be lost in this process.
If you want to look at the biggest land mammal then it is deffinately the elephant. Elephants, depending on the species, can be anywhere between 2 and 4m in height and can weight between 2 and 7 tonnes!
