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 kilograms. Their distinctive features include larger ears and a shorter, straighter trunk compared to other elephants. These elephants are primarily herbivorous, feeding on a variety of vegetation, including leaves, fruits, and bark. They 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 and poaching.
