What a stupid question, isn't it? If the elephant jumps with a huge body, will it be whole? Yes, that is largely true. But that is not the point. The average weight of an adult elephant is about four and a half tons. Their legs are only suitable for carrying something stiff. Those four legs do not have the ability to carry the weight of the body by jumping in the air and falling to the ground.
The body structure of an elephant is not what it should be in order to handle its tremors when it falls from above. However, it is not that the baby elephant does not jump. When ever persuaded, the baby elephant can be seen jumping. I saw a movie in the sixties called Hatari.
Funny story of catching rhinos, elephants, monkeys in the gray deserts of Africa. Baby elephants can be seen dancing there. That is the trained elephant. But usually elephants do not jump. Although the elephant walks very fast, which can be called running. But four feet together do not rise above the ground, all the time two or at least one foot in turn stays on the ground. That means they don't jump. Why?
The reason is that elephants do not need to jump to survive. The tiger, the lion jumped and ran. Because, without this quality, they could not catch prey. I had to die without eating. Elephants live in the forest by eating herbs and bananas. There is no need to jump for this. And the deer jumps to escape the attack of the little tiger-lion. Without this quality, the deer clan would have disappeared.
But elephants have no such fear. So he doesn't have to jump and run. If a tiger weighing only 14 tons attacks, it may be able to subdue the elephant. There is almost no such fear. Because, the average weight of a large tiger is less than half a ton. And there is only one person in whose hands an elephant can die. Due to the lack of a deadly enemy, the elephant is deprived of the quality of jumping.
