What is a metaphor for elephant?

Yes because a metaphor is an exaggeration and if someone says you have the memory of an elephant is exagerating that someone has a very good memory,

CORRECT ANSWER:

No, an elephant's memory is not a metaphor.

While is it true that man's brain is larger, it's only in relation to size of man. In other words, a man's brain is larger when compared the size of the man, than an elephant's is compared to the size of the elephant.

Relative size aside, elephants have the largest brain of any animal.

An elephant's brain is denser, which means it has more cells and brain matter. Memory is found in the brain's temporal lobes. Elephant temporal lobes are more developed than humans and they have more folds and crevices for holding more information. Consequently, elephants have the best memories of any living creature.

Elephants' memories are legendary. They remember everything over the course of their long lives.

So, when someone says you have the memory of an elephant, they are giving you a huge compliment. Because no one has a memory that is as fantastic as an elephant's, and that's no exaggeration!
