The Sumatran Elephant is a distinct subspecies of the Asian elephant, found primarily on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. These elephants are smaller than their mainland relatives, with males typically weighing between 2,200 to 5,500 pounds. They have smaller ears and a more rounded body shape, which helps them adapt to their forest habitat. Sumatran elephants play a crucial role in their ecosystem by helping to maintain the health of the forests. They are herbivores, consuming a variety of plants, fruits, and bark. Unfortunately, their population is declining due to habitat loss and poaching, making them critically endangered.
