These were never used in IRL warfare, but you could fit "what seemed a very war-tower" (obviously not really a wartower) on top of one. And a human looks small compared to an African Elephant. The huge ears also fit.

I'd say we have an animal that fits the description.

Thats funny, whenever i say something, and use tolkien gateway as proof, you tell me that its considered non-canon...

Why is it non-canon when i use it, but perfectly canon when you use it?

just wondering... Tolkien Gateway is in general far more canon than the LOTR Wiki. It's no more canon for me than you, eiither. I simply state that Tolkien Gateway says nothing about the Mumakil that couldn't refer to African Bush elephants.
