Are elephants about the size of a tyrannosaurus?

No, elephants are not about the size of a Tyrannosaurus rex. An adult African elephant can weigh between 5,000 to 14,000 pounds and stand up to 13 feet tall at the shoulder, while a Tyrannosaurus rex was typically around 40 feet long and weighed between 9,000 to 15,000 pounds. Although both are large animals, the T. rex was longer and had a more massive build compared to elephants.
