The Bornean Pygmy Elephant is a small subspecies of the Asian elephant, primarily found in the rainforests of Borneo. They are known for their smaller size, with adults typically standing about 8 to 10 feet tall and weighing between 1,500 to 2,000 pounds. Their distinctive features include larger ears and a shorter, straighter trunk compared to other elephants. These elephants play a crucial role in their ecosystem by helping to disperse seeds and maintain forest health. Unfortunately, the Bornean Pygmy Elephant is classified as endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict, making conservation efforts essential for their survival.
