Elephant

The elephant is the largest of the land mammals, and is found in Africa and southern Asia. Though large, elephants are herbivores. Less tempermental than the African species, Asian elephants have been domesticated as mounts and beasts of burden. Additionally, elephant tusks have had economic value for their ivory. Elephants are are especially culturally significant in India and southeast Asia.

Indiana Jones has experience at riding elephants.

In 1935 in India, Jones and his two companions, Willie Scott and Short Round travel by elephant from Mayapore to Pankot Palace. While Short Round was friendly towards his smaller mount, which he nicknamed "Big Short Round", Scott was less appreciative of her mount and its odor, pouring perfume on it in a vain effort to mask its scent. Before they reached Pankot, their guides stopped and wouldn't take the elephants any further. . Both Jones and Short Round drew sketches of their mounts in Jones' journal.
