1 Rhinoceros (or "rhinos" for short) are tough contestants for the title of "World's Second Heaviest Land Animal". While there is no doubt that elephants are the world's heaviest land animals, there is no consensus among scientists about the first place runner-up. Well, this truly is a tough call, because the two finalists - rhinos and hippos - both weigh more than 7,000 pounds!
