The Largest Land Mammal On Earth Is Actually The A..

The largest land mammal on earth is actually the African elephant. The elephants found in Malaysia are Asian elephants, which are smaller in size and have smaller ears.

🐘 Asian elephants are listed in the IUCN Red List as ENDANGERED to CRITICALLY ENDANGERED! There is an estimate of 1000-1500 Malaysian elephants left in the Peninsular Malaysia.

With forest loss & fragmentation, human-elephant conflict, and the rise of ivory poaching, we are losing our largest terrestrial mammal! 🌳
