An Asian bull may achieve a height of 10 feet at the shoulder and may weigh up to 6 tons. An African bull can weigh up to 7 tons.

Asian elephants have much smaller ears and one finger at the end of their trunk.
Wolves are the descendants of a generalized, carnivore ancestor called Creodont which lived about 100 million years ago. This ancestry applies to all modern carnivores such as cats, dogs and bears. Eagles have powerful eye sight allowing them to see three to four times farther away than a human. From a perch position in a high tree, eagles can see prey up to one mile away. The elephant's trunk is a combination of the upper lip and nose.
