Perhaps that was a tribal memory of the Aurochs? They were huge and there were attempts to domesticate them.In Scandinavia it was believed that if if a bull calf was fed on milk all its life (after weaning) it would grow it be as big as an elephant. These were trained to fight lindorms or worms, huge poison breathing serpents. The fights usually ended in the death of both creatures.
Not as big as an elephant, however.
