Family of Bornean Elephants

Caption

Bornean elephants live in family groups from 5 to 20 individuals. They are good swimmers and can cross rivers such as the Kinabatangan river, the largest river of the state of Sabah. They currently survive in a highly fragmented environment as a consequence of oil palm plantations.
