There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Does anyone know reliable dimensional measurements of the elephants? Off height only on Wikipedia, the Asian elephant seems more dense kg/cm^3 wise, opposite to the tusk comparison. 

 

The Asian elephant got a denser body proportion, but in term of the density about the tusk, the African elephant definitely got an edge here.

The same analogy can be applied for the lightly built Amur tiger who got the heaviest canine tooth of all big cats.
