A Boeing 747-100 - Empty 162,386kg = 358,000 lb or so
(according to http://www.airliners.net/info/stats.main?id=97 )
An Asian elephant weighs 6,000 lb (female) to 12,000 lb (male).
(according to http://en.allexperts.com/q/Wild-Animals-705/elephant.htm )
Noting that there are different models of the Boeing 747, and differences between empty and full ...
And noting that different species of elephants have different average weights ...
One Boeing 747 = 358,000 / 6,000 female elephants
--- do the division
One Boeing 747 = 358,000 / 12,000 male elephants
--- do the division
Answer is approximate.
