African elephant. Despite their name mammoth's weren't all that big: five to eight feet at the shoulder.

According to my sources (Which may be wrong, I grant.) They were up to 13ft, the dwarf species were 5 - 8. They were 6-8 tons, up to a big 10-12 for large males. The tusks were large at 16ft. But don't forget the hair was up to 20 inches long, and very thick with another 3 inches of skin under that, a bit like the blubber of whales. But the muscles in their body were very strong for even their big size, and had lived with extremely dangerous predators.

Size isn't everything.
