You can use any unit to measure mass. I presume you mean a unit which will make the number a sensible size. Either kilograms or tonnes can be used, you just put the decimal point in a different place.
The average mass of a female Asian elephant is about 2700 kg, or 2.7 tonnes, and a bull African elephant is about 5500 kg or 5.5 tonnes.
