Lee Gold 2/06/14:  According to http://darulfiqh.com/is-it-permissible-to-consume-elephant-meat/
it is forbidden for Moslems to eat "fanged beasts of prey" and an elephant counts as a fanged beast.
"Although an elephant is different from other predatory animals in that it does not prey and live on other animals like other animals. However, due to the fact that an elephant can harm, kill and attack other animals, it has the attributes of natural predatory animals.  Thus the jurists gave the elephants the same ruling as natural predators."

--Lee Gold, search engineer

Cattle, goats, sheep, and camels are also capable of attacking, etc. other animals.

thnidu 2/06/14:  Well of course they wouldn't! Pachyderms don't have hooves, let alone split hooves, or chew the cud, href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_foods#Clean_and_unclean_animals, both of which are _required_ for an animal to be kosher.

I was sure mammoths wouldn't be kosher-- but having seen some results of "I don't have to look it up, the answer is obvious," I checked anyway.

Has anyone yet written a kosher cookbook for time travelers?
