What is the largest land animal in the world?

Answer: 

The African Elephant is considered to be the biggest terrestrial animal alive on the planet.  However, it is not the world’s biggest land animal. In the earth’s 4 billion-year history, there have been species far larger than an African Elephant. The Argentinosaurs are the biggest terrestrial animals on the planet. It was a 97 million-year-old dinosaur that formerly roamed the continent of South America. According to fossil evidence, Argentinosaurs weighed a remarkable 88 metric tonnes. More than a third of a dozen African elephants are in this picture.

Animals can be judged based on their weight, height, and length all across the world. An African elephant weighs on average 8500 kg. The average body length of the animal is 6.66 meters. Asian elephants are smaller than African elephants, with smaller ears compared to the huge fan-shaped ears of African elephants.
