Elephants can swim really well, but the G-forces at liftoff would be tough on them. Plus you've gotta supply them; 70,000 Calories per day (ideally in the form of oranges), and something like 25 kg of oxygen.

No need to worry about the supply nor the acceleration at liftoff (nor even at lithobraking): none of these factors influence the carbon content of your elephants.

    Yes, elephants have large footprints.

      Sending elephants is a nonsense. Sea elephants are much better adapted to ice and oceanic conditions.
