Say in a post nuclear holocaust world, elephants managed to survive and adapt. It can consume and digest iron and steel and grow two rows of metallic tusks. When threatened the elephant will lift up iron rich rock and accelerate it by creating Lorentz force to impale the enemy at a distance up to 50m away. Similar to a certain species of fish (elephant nose), the elephant can generate its own electricity inside its body. Is this animal biologically possible?
