Compared to a modern African bush elephant bull (averaging 6 tons), what was noted about the woolly mammoth's size advantage?

Its height advantage was often more pronounced than its weight advantage

While woolly mammoths were certainly massive animals, comparisons between them and modern African bush elephant bulls reveal interesting differences in dimensional advantages. A typical African bush elephant bull averages around 11 feet in height and weighs close to 6 tons. Woolly mammoths were often stockier and could reach heights up to 13 feet at the shoulder, though typical heights were slightly less. The key observation regarding size comparison is that while the mammoth's maximum height could surpass that of the African bull, their typical weight, often around 6 metric tons, was comparable to or only marginally higher than the modern counterpart, meaning the relative advantage in vertical dimension was often clearer than the advantage in sheer mass.
