　　Yes, the largest animal living on land is the elephant，a real monster[1] of flesh and muscles[2]. The largest males found on the African continent measure 7 meters from the forehead to the tip of the tail, and are easily 3 and a half meters tall. They are no light weights, they weigh about 6 tons. The females are more modest[3], when they get on the scale[4], they only weigh 3 tons. As for this baby elephant, after a 22 months gestation period in his mother's stomach. It takes time to make an elephant. It already weighs 120 kilos. And the elephant which can live up to 60 years continues to grow all its life, so the biggest animals in the world are also the oldest. When you weigh this much, you've obviously got an appetite, 150 kilos of vegetation daily and about 80 liters of water a day. The world record for the largest elephant belongs to one killed in Angola in 1955. It was four meters tall and weighed no less than 10 tons.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　大象
　　是的，大象是陆地上最大的动物，一个真实的具有血肉之躯的巨物。在非洲所发现最大的公象，从头到尾巴末端有七公尺长而且大部分都三公尺半高.他们几乎没有轻的，大约重量都在六吨左右。母象则长得比较瘦小，当它们长成时也只有三吨重。母象生一只小象要花很长的时间，大约怀孕期是二十二个月。并且生出时的重量已经有120公斤重了。同时大象可活到60岁，它们一生中都在不断的成长。所以世上最大的动物也就成了最老的动物了。当你有这样的体重时，你已明显地有了大胃口。大象每天要吃150公斤的草料及要喝大约80公斤的水。世界记录最大的一只大象应属于1955年在安哥拉被杀的大象，它有四公尺高及超过十公吨的体重。
