The lowest weight of an adult elephant typically ranges from about 2 to 3 tons, depending on the species. African forest elephants, which are the smallest of the three elephant species, can weigh as little as 2 tons. In contrast, Asian elephants generally start at around 2.5 tons. However, newborn elephants can weigh significantly less, averaging around 100 to 150 pounds (0.05 to 0.07 tons) at birth.
