Which is the world’s largest land animal?
A
Polar Bear
B
The Flemish Giant
C
African Bush Elephant
D
Southern Elephant Seal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The African Savanna (Bush) elephant is the world’s largest land animal – with adult males, or bull elephants, standing up to 3m high and weighing up to 6, 000kg on average. Males only reach their full size at 35-40 years-that’s well over half their lifespan as wild elephants can live for up to 60-70 years.

Detailed explanation-2: -The African elephant is much larger compared to the Asian elephant, both in size and weight. An Asian elephant has smaller ears compared to an African elephant, as well as a more uniquely shaped head. But this is not where their differences end.

Detailed explanation-3: -African savanna elephants are larger and their tusks curve outward. The tusks of the smaller African forest elephant are straighter, pointing downward, and they have more rounded ears.
