Borneo elephant
[ bawr-nee-oh el-uh-fuhnt ]
noun
- a notably passive Asian elephant subspecies ( Elephas maximus borneensis ), found in the tropical rainforests of northern and northeastern Borneo and classified as endangered: DNA analysis since 2004 suggests it may be of a unique indigenous population, rather than an introduced descendant of captive elephants from the 16th–18th centuries, as had long been hypothesized.
