About
The Borneo elephant is the smallest Asian elephant subspecies, standing notably shorter than its mainland relatives.
Often called the Borneo pygmy elephant, this subspecies is roughly a foot or two shorter than other Asian elephants. Adult males typically grow larger than females, and both sexes have distinctively oversized ears and long tails. Even though it is the smallest elephant in the world, it remains the largest land animal living on the island of Borneo.
From Wikipedia
The Borneo elephant, also called the Bornean elephant or the Borneo pygmy elephant, is a subspecies of Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) that inhabits northeastern Borneo. Its origin remains the subject of debate.
