An elephant is supporting his own weight with no help and is fighting against gravity. A whale on the other hand does not have to support all his weight as the water is helping ti support a portion of his weight.

How many African elephants fit in a whale shark?

To estimate how many African elephants could fit in a whale shark, we need to compare their sizes. An average adult African elephant weighs around 6,000 kg and measures about 3.3 meters tall and 7.5 meters long. In contrast, a whale shark can grow up to 12 meters in length and weigh around 15,000 kg or more. Given these dimensions, it is unlikely that a whale shark could physically accommodate an entire elephant inside it, but theoretically, if we consider volume and space, perhaps several smaller elephants could fit within the whale shark's vast body, depending on their positioning.
