@OP
Elephants are fish, not mammals.
Culinary classification is more relevant to most people's lives than taxonomic classification. Elephants, therefore, are properly classified as fish.

But dolphins can also be classified as fish - as can dogbears, platypuses, humans who go swimming, and whales.

The answer is stay sober. Elephants are one of the only animals apart from humans that actively seeks getting drunk it eats fermented fruits and goes on rampages for alcohol.

Other animals seek out fermenting fruit, monkeys steal cocktails from tourists, and stories about drunk elephants are perhaps just stories.

Aside from having to prove a negative, that no elephant can jump, I think OP would have to show that heavy mammals like hippos and rhinos could jump in order to prove that elephants are the only mammals that can't. Furthermore, OP would have to define "jump" for us. I'm perfectly willing to consider breaching behavior in cetaceans as "jumping", but not all cetaceans do that. And as far as oceanic mammals go, I don't think manatees or dugongs are capable of "jumping" at all. And are you just considering present mammals? Could mammoths or mastodons jump? There are really a lot of problems with the whole claim. I think Mark's answer is the best one yet.
