Elephants
Elephants are the world's largest land animals now living. The largest elephant ever recorded was shot in Angola in 1956. This male weighed about 11,000 kg, with a shoulder height of 3.96 meters, a meter taller than the average male African elephant.
How many species of elephants are there
-It is estimated that there were once more than 350 species of elephants in the world. Today we only have two of them left the Asian and the Africa species. The African elephant is the largest of the two species left in the world. They have extremely large ears and both the males and the females grow tusks.

The blue whale
The blue whale is a marine mammal belonging to the suborder of baleen whales. At 30 meters in length and 180 metric tons, it is the largest known animal to have ever existed.
How many blue whales are left?
A 2002 report estimated there were 5,000 to 12,000 blue whales worldwide. The IUCN( International Union for Conservation of Nature ) estimates that there are probably between 10,000 and 25,000 blue whales worldwide today. Before whaling, the largest population was in the Antarctic, numbering approximately 239,000 (range 202,000 to 311,000).
How much dose there meat sell for
