The proportionately thicker bones in the elephant are an example of allometric scaling
Allometry is the study of the relationship of body size to shape,[1] anatomy, physiology and behaviour,[2] first outlined by Otto Snell in 1892,[3] by D'Arcy Thompson in 1917 in On Growth and Form[4] and by Julian Huxley in 1932.[5]
