elephants.
Few Grow Nine Feet High, the Ma
jority Being Under Eight Feet


The average term of an elephants
life, although there Is no precise III
formation on the point, Is seventy OF
eighty years. The elephant Is not In
full vigor and strength till thrty-five.
The most ready way Of forming M Cp
proximatc idea of the age is by the
amount of turn over of the upper edge
of the ear In young animals. Some
times up to the age OF eight or nine
years, the edge is quite straight II.
however. then begins to turn over. and
by the time the animal Is thirty the
edges lap over to the extent of an Inch.
and between this age and sixty this
increases to two inches or slightly
more. Extravagant ideas are held MS
to the height of an elephant. Such II
thing as an elephant measuring ten
feet Mt the shoulder does not CSst In
India or Burma. Sanderson. who Is nd.
mittcd to be the best authority on the
subject. says the largest male he ever
met with measured q feet 10 inches
and the tallcst female feet 3 Inches.
The majority OF elephants, however,
are below eight feet. and nn animal
rarely reaches nine feet. the female
being slightly shorter than the male.
The carcass of an elephant Z feet inch.
es tall weighed In portions gave II total
weight of 1900 pounds. so an elephant
weighing two tons should be common
enough. The skin was about three
fourths of an inch thick.
