■About Borneo elephants
The Borneo elephant is a small baby-faced elephant that lives in Borneo. It has large ears, a plump belly, and a tail that is sometimes dragged when walking, and has a gentler personality than other Asian elephants.
The Borneo elephant separated from its congeners that lived in mainland Asia and Sumatra about 300,000 years ago. Over the years, their ears have become larger, their tails have become longer, their fangs have become straighter, and their bodies have become smaller compared to other elephants. Now it is the smallest species of elephant in Asia, but the largest mammal on the island of Borneo.
They can move freely through the forest without damaging trees and small plants.
