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 …
