I remember hearing that Elephants are the only land animal that cannot jump.

Could be a fake Snapple fact, so feel free to investigate further!

Not the only land animal, but it's true they can't jump: 100% super reliable source.

Mainly linking that site because this line kills me:

The tortoise cannot jump because it lacks agility and speed.

Only land mammal, perhaps?

At least some species of mole and pretty much all species of sloths are physiologically incapable of jumping, so I don't think restricting it to land mammals would make a difference in this context.

Ah, good point.

I don't think snakes can either

That's what a lot of people think until they are 3 feet away from one and suddenly find it attached to their leg!
