Answer 12

yes it is the largest land animal but when you are referring to largest animal nowadays it is the blue whale but when you say largest animal of all time it is the dinosaur. Not just only blue whales are considered a relative of dinosaurs but also crocodiles and alligators, but i am not saying that crocs and alligators are the largest i'm just saying that they are also a kind of dinosaur.

Answer 29

I see some wrong answers here. The truth is that the African elephant is larger than the Indian elephant among living animals. It is the largest land animal now. 40,000,000 years ago, the Baluchitherium, aka Indricotherium, was the largest land mammal that ever lived. It was up to 18' at the shoulder and estimated to weigh as much as 3 to 5 modern african elephants. Sauropod dinosaurs were the largest land animals of all time.

Answer 30

yes. elephants are the heaviest and second tallest land animals and the largest type of elephants is the  African Bush Elephant, Scientific: Loxodonta

Answer 31

The largest animal in the world is the blue whale who weighs in at a massive 209 tons and 110 feet in length ~ as large as a Boeing jet. The blue whales heart is as big as a small Fiat car and if the whale allowed it, fifty people could stand on its tongue alone! When the blue whale shoots water out of its blow-hole, it can reach up to 30 feet in the air.

The whale's blow-hole is also his nostrils and are situated on the top of his head. Some whales only have one blow-hole, but others, like the blue whale, have two nostrils. Whales breath when they want to and not out of necessity. This is important because whales can't breath under the water, but in order to survive, they have to resurface every few minutes to blow out water and take fresh air in. The blue whale is not a fish, but a mammal, so it has lungs rather than gills and feeds its off-spring with milk, just like humans and other mammals. A baby whale can consume over 50 gallons of milk a day!
