How much do we know of the provenance of the Indian elephants that were used as well? There are some truly huge Indian elephants from the west of Nepal. A subspecies was described (google "Raja Gaj") that stands 11.5 feet at the shoulder and weighed over 7 tons. Loxodont is very leggy, so this would be much stockier than a 12 foot African bull.
