The simple answer is, of course, different anatomical adaptations. Since water helps support the whales mass, their skeletons are relatively light compared to a land animal's. The dinosaurs had made many adaptations to their weight -- just as elephants, hippos and rhinos have.\n\nThat said, a small fall for a creature of large mass is likely to do internal damage in a way that never happens for small animals.

Animals live everywhere on Earth. Some places on Earth are very hot and some are very cold. Some places on Earth have a lot of water and plants, and other places have very little water and few plants. Antarctica is covered with snow and ice and has no plants. It is very cold there, too. Guess what? Animals even live in Antarctica!\n\nAnimals can live in many different places in the world because they have special adaptations to the area they live in. An adaptation is a way an animal's body helps it survive, or live, in its environment. Camels have learned to adapt (or change) so that they can survive.\n\nAnimals depend on their physical features to help them obtain food, keep safe, build homes, withstand weather, and attract mates. These physical features are called called physical adaptations. They makes it possible for the animal to live in a particular place and in a particular way. Each adaptation has been produced by evolution. This means that the adaptations have developed over many generations. The shape of a bird's beak, the number of fingers, colour of the fur, the thickness or thinness of the fur, the shape of the nose or ears are all examples of physical adaptations which help different animals to survive.

1.  Open the door.  Put the elephant in the fridge.  Close the door.\n\n2.  Open the door.  Take the elephant out of the fridge.  Put the giraffe into the fridge.  Close the door.\n\n3.  The giraffe is not there, because he's in the fridge.\n\n4.  You go during the animal-kingdom meeting, because all the animals except the giraffe will be at the meeting and it will be safe to cross the river.

These two species may be relatively close in genetical terms, but they live in different continents: Elephas maximus in Asia, Loxodonta africana in Africa. \nHowever, when individuals of different species are brought to live together in artificial habitats, anomalous behavior can occur, including mating. \nThere was at least one hybrid African-Asian elephant that was born in 1978 in an English zoo (see link).

1. Warm blooded\n2. Give birth to live young.\n3. Have mammary glands and nurse their young\n4. Have hair (yes, ehales and dolphins in utero have hair and some remains shortly after birth)\n5. Breath with lungs (while not a mammal exclusive trait it separates them from fish)\n\nOther marine mammals include seals, sea lions, manattees and sea otters.

Ooooh I know, African ones have bigger ears and Indian ones are more wrinkled and I think they look uglier, they like to eat grass, foliage, fruit, branches, and twigs. I'd say the best place for a Cuddly elephant is Hamleys and they sell a lot of soft toys where profits goto WWF too.\n\nHere's some information:

Simple answer - No.\n\n\nA more complex answer. Elephants get nervous when they come upon something unexpected. For example, a mouse or a rat popping out of a hole and running around it's legs, can make an elephant very nervous since it really cannot see the rat, but can hear it and smell it move. And when an elephant is very nervous, it does things which to us may look like it's very scared.\n\nElephants have very poor eye-sight, but very powerful sense of hearing and smell. So, it may not see that mouse, but it can feel it's presence and that's what makes it so nervous. \n\nSo, you see - elephants are not scared of mice, but scared of sudden changes which they cannot comprehend.

hmm i would say it will definitely be the yaks. \nyaks are very incredible animals which are very vesatile. they can easilt adapt to any environments but wilds yaks are usually found at the himalayan mountains. but now they are able to live even where the temperatures are not very low. even now there are yaks that are domestic and are breeded by people and even used to plough the fields! incredible isn't it? and another thing, the milk from the yaks is pink! haha  =D

Most animals shed or grow fur/feathers in order to adapt to different temperatures.

Elephants.\n\nThey had to import adult female matriarchs and their herds to one African natural preserve, because all they had was a herd of juvenile male elephants....who had turned delinquent, and were KILLING rhinos for fun.  The matriarchs did some major rear-end whupping and the juvinile males learned to behave.\n\nhttp://philologos.org/bpr/files/Misc_Studies/ms034.htm\n\nHippos are rulers of the water, when nothing bigger is around, but they are much smaller and softer than elephants... if ever confronted, hippos wouldn't stand a chance... considering that elephants can kill the much better armored rhinos!
