* Calf size: A newborn African Elephant calf is typically around 3 feet tall and weighs around 200 pounds.
* Mother size: Adult female African Elephants can be anywhere from 8 to 10 feet tall at the shoulder, and weigh 6,000 to 14,000 pounds.
So, a three-day-old calf would be about a quarter to a third the height of its mother.
It's important to remember that these are just averages. Individual elephants can vary in size, and a three-day-old calf may be slightly smaller or larger than the average.
