So we are cursing the river and watching for wildlife and our guide tells us about the most exciting animal to see in Borneo - the pygmy elephants! I didn't even realize that these elephants are the smallest in the world and only found in Borneo. Even more exciting to learn that these elephants are still living in the wild here. They are on their own to roam around and enjoy life in the jungle. Here is a great website with more information about these amazing creatures: https://worldwildlife.org/species/borneo-pygmy-elephant
Then imagine my surprise when our guide tells us that he knows where the elephants are. We take a 2 hour boat trip down the river to a more remote location and we are not disappointed. We find a herd of 26 WILD elephants. It was so excited to watch them walk along the river and eat. Check out my video: http://youtu.be/yuV_TX5eFm4
