Favourite elephant bull

yeah Jums apparently is a massive guy, and a great sire.

Barely any african bulls in zoos that I know of don't have magnificent tusks unfortunately. Mabu in Sand Diego might grow some though being born in Kruger National Park. Tusks suddenly grow like 1-2 meters in a span of a few years when the bull gets to around 40 or so. Strange and amazing thing that happens in Kruger.
 
My favourite zoo elephant was the Asiatic bull ‘Siam’ who I saw a number of times in Vincennes Zoo, Paris; he is now stuffed in the Paris Zoology Museum.

Earlier this year, I saw the Asiatic bull ‘Dahlip’ in the Miami Metrozoo; he is a very impressive animal and probably the finest elephant I’ve seen since ‘Siam’ died.
 
I've heard stacks about the great Siam.

How large was the guy? Like height and weight?
