Elephant drawing

Jellico's son's drawing of an elephant

An elephant was a large quadrupedal mammal from Earth.

A Kikuyu proverb said "when elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers." (SNW: "Strange New Worlds")

Listening to her father, Mike Burnham, tell the story of the girl who made the stars, Michael Burnham imagined elephants along with zebras and lions living "a thousand centuries ago." (ST: "The Girl Who Made the Stars")

In 2369, Captain Edward Jellico's son gave him a drawing of what Jellico believed to be an elephant. He showed this drawing to Deanna Troi, who agreed with his assessment. (TNG: "Chain Of Command, Part I")

There were plans for an elephant to appear in "Shore Leave", but the plans never materialized. [1]
The novelization of "Once Upon a Planet", published in Star Trek Log 3, describes the cat in that story as "only slightly smaller than an elephant."
In deleted scenes from Star Trek, the Klingons captured the Narada after the USS Kelvin crashed into it, and imprisoned Nero for the next twenty-five years. These Klingon guards wore helmets and thick coats, which costume designer Michael Kaplan respectively modeled on a horseshoe crab and elephant and rhino skin. (Star Trek - The Art of the Film, p. 42)
