While the African elephant can not actually run/gallop they can “speed walk” at speeds up to 15.5 MPH (40 Km per hour) but only for a maximum of about 1/4 mile (0.4 Km) before they need to rest.
However their average walking pace (that they can hold for 3-4 hours at a time) is 4.5 MPH (7.25 Km per hour)
