No, it is not humanly possible to lift an elephant. This is due to the enormous size of an elephant. An average human weighs about 70 kg while a fully grown elephant weighs about 6000 kg. The elephant is the biggest and heaviest animal in the world.

There is no record in history that says a human has ever lifted an elephant. No matter how muscular or strong a human is, it’s impossible to lift this mammal. To lift an elephant, you will need not less than 75 people. A new born elephant weighs about 113 kg. It might be possible for a weight lifter, strong and muscular humans to lift a new born elephant.

A lot of people would probably answer no. They would say that lifting an elephant with one hand is just not possible. There are some reports that are stating though that humans are naturally strong. This explains why our teeth are actually very sharp in order to cut through different types of food.

Our brain is in charge of telling us that it is not possible in order for the world to still have a sense of order and discipline. Just imagine if everyone would be able to just lift elephants, humans may become even more dangerous to the rest of the world. As of now, it is not humanly possible to lift an elephant with one or even two hands.
