The Southern Right whale can be up to18.5m long and weigh up to 130 tonnes, and does breed in New Zealand waters.
For land mammals, the biggest non-native animal would be the elephant Jumbo, who now lives at Franklin Zoo. 'Jumbo' is a female adult African bush elephant so may weigh about 3 tonnes and be about 3m tall. (The only other elephant in New Zealand is the Asian elephant 'Burma' in Auckland Zoo and she may weigh about 2.5 tonnes and be about 2.5m tall.)
The biggest farmed animal would probably be a steer (castrated cattle beast) at over 600kg and up to 1 tonne.
The biggest wild animal would be the wapiti at up to 450kg.
The biggest native land animal (not extinct) would be the flightless parrot the kakapo. They can weigh up to 4kg.
