Description:
Description: This fellow was standing still for a very long time, right in my line of view, though at the far side of the enclosure. I was wondering if he wasn't a tad disproportionate: I mean a large torso compared to the size of his legs? The range of wild elephants in Sabah and Kalimantan seems to have expanded very little in the past 100 years despite access to suitable habitat elsewhere on Borneo. Borneo’s soil tends to be young, leached and infertile, and there is speculation that the distribution of wild elephants on the island may be limited by the occurrence of natural mineral sources.
