Elephant

One species of African elephant, the bush elephant, is the largest living terrestrial animal, while the forest elephant is the third-largest. Their thickset bodies rest on stocky legs, and they have concave backs. Their large ears enable heat loss. The upper lip and nose form a trunk. The trunk acts as a fifth limb, a sound amplifier, and an important method of touch. African elephants' trunks end in two opposing lips. Males stand 3.2–4.0 m tall at the shoulder and weigh 4,700–6,048 kg, while females stand 2.2–2.6 m tall and weigh 2,160–3,232 kg.
