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