Largest Land Mammal
Largest mammal on land is the male African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana) standing on average 3-3.7 m (9-12 ft) high at the shoulder and weighing 4-7 tonnes. The largest specimen ever recorded was shot in Mucusso, Angola, on November 7, 1974. Lying on its side, this elephant measured 4.16 m (13 ft 8 in) in a projected line from the highest point of the shoulder to the base of the forefoot, indicating a standing height of about 3.96 m (13 ft). Its weight was worked out to be 12.24 tonnes.

Currently, the elephant is the largest. After global warming messes everything up, who knows how big kangaroos will be.
