Borneo pygmy elephant, 婆羅洲侏儒象 | liewwk Nature [update 20240505]

The smallest in size of Asian elephant subspecies, the pygmy elephants of Borneo are baby-faced with oversized ears, plump bellies and tails so long they sometimes drag on the ground as they walk. They are also more gentle-natured than their Asian elephant counterparts.

Some may consider this a a Endemic mammals species …

– a “cute” single elephant found on today, amazing feeling while we plan for what option to see one but one just appear infront of us.

– 非常幸运的客人,客人还在讲如何办法可以看看这一只小可爱。尽然我们去看鸟时就遇上。还游泳过河。

2. Bornean clouded leopard, 婆罗洲云豹, Neofelis diardi borneensis

– a rare wild cat, largest wild cat in Borneo

– 婆罗洲云豹是马来云豹的2个亚种之一。是婆罗洲岛最大的食肉动物,大小与小型美洲狮相当,头体长61-106厘米、尾长55-91厘米;体重16-23千克。外形以及体表的花纹都与亚洲其他地方地方云豹相似,只是体表的斑纹的色彩要暗很多,其犬齿长度相对于体型来说,居猫科动物之首。据科学家对比后发现,基于外部形态的对比,科学家发现婆罗洲云豹皮毛颜色要比大陆云豹更深更暗,身上的云状斑纹比大陆云豹小些,并出现了双背脊线。而大陆云豹的云状斑纹较大(其中尼泊尔云豹斑块最大),但在斑纹内斑点较少,毛色比婆罗洲云豹更加亮丽,双背脊线不连贯。
