Elephants, being lighter, could mound a horse of a similar ratio to wheaght and carry it along it's back like a shopping bag. Ants can carrAsa leaf as big as a truck is to a human and carry it with out a problem. Overall, the elephant is stronger when it comes to lifting wheights other than it's self. Besides, if the blue whale was as strong as an elephant, it wouldn't be crushed under it's own wheight on land.
