In Real Life
Borneo Elephant (Elephas maximus borneensis), or Bornean Elephant or Borneo Pygmy Elephant, is a subspecies of Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus) that inhabits northeastern Borneo, in Indonesia and Malaysia. Pygmy Elephant is the smallest subspecies of Elephant in the world. Less than 8.2 feet tall, they have large ears, round bellies, and long tails that may brush the ground as they walk. Females are smaller than their male counterparts and either lack or have shortened tusks. The tip of a Pygmy Elephant's trunk has a single, prehensile finger, which it uses to collect grasses, leaves, fruits and other plants.
Trivia
- Despite being called Pygmy Elephant, they are still giant compared to Dwarf Sicilian Elephant (Palaeoloxodon falconeri) which only grow around 90 cm long as an adult.
- Borneo Elephants are a gentler species than Asian Elephants and African Elephants, and their peaceful nature leads some scientists to believe they are descendants of a domestic herd.
- The fruit she carry on her trunk is jambu or roseapple fruit.
