I'm looking into this, but for now, this website has some amazing photos of some of the biggest of its kind:   http://www.heavy.com/action/action-photos/2012/09/the-20-largest-animals-in-the-world/   

It appears there are some elephants that are taller than a giraffe (surprises me, too).  If you were to count LENGTH as height, which is what I think you are actually looking for (length and/or height), the blue whale exceeds everybody:  Here is some info from WIKIPEDIA:

A member of the order Cetacea, the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus), is believed to be the largest animal ever to have lived. The maximum recorded weight was 190 tonnes^[1] for a specimen measuring 30 metres (98 ft), while longer ones, up to 33.4 metres (110 ft), have been recorded but not weighed.^[2]

The African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), of the order Proboscidea, is the largest living land animal. A native of various open habitats in sub-Saharan Africa, this elephant is born commonly weighing about 100 kilograms (220 lb).^{[citation needed]} The largest elephant ever recorded was shot inAngola in 1974. It was a male measuring 10.7 metres (35 ft) from trunk to tail and 4.2 metres (14 ft) lying on its side in a projected line from the highest point of the shoulder to the base of the forefoot, indicating a standing shoulder height of 4.0 metres (13.1 ft).^[2]

<dl><dt> The heaviest living animals are all cetaceans, and thus also the largest living mammals. Since no scale can accommodate the whole body of a large whale, most whales have been weighed by parts.</dt></dl>

 I deleted the tables, as they didn't post as tables.
