Description:
This chap might be a juvenile. I thought he was too small to have such large tusks, which confirms the 'pygmy' title. Wikipedia however states that they are not pygmies by any means. Hmmmm. Borneo Elephants are said to be remarkably tame and passive, reason enough for some scientists think they descended from a domestic collection. (Kota Kinabalu, East Malaysia, Nov. 2013)
