They found real PUPPY-SIZED ELEPHANTS!!

So everyone remembers when John told us that there used to by puppy-sized elephants, but they went extinct right? Well that isn't actually true. Turns out that some of these puppy-sized elephants were on this little island called Borneo, and survived. Some people think that the Sultan brought them there for entertainment, and ended up leaving them in the jungles. Because of this, they escaped the extinction of the rest of their kind, so GO SULTAN!! You saved a species !!
Now of course they have been evolving, so now they stand anywhere from 4-6 ft tall. But still, that means the tallest one is my dad's height!! And some are shorter than me!! They are also said to be more friendly and docile than other elephants. Their are only out 1600 puppy-sized (really called Pygmy Elephants) left!!!
If you want, you can make a donation at the World Wildlife Organization. The money goes to care for the elephants, habitat protections, and also helps the local people to co-exist with this previously extinct species (and the plushie is totally worth it-I have two). But if not, just help to spread the word that puppy-sized elephants are NOT exinct!!!

But they are SO cute. Elephants are already really friendly, so these must be puppy-like in their friendliness!; ▶ Reply to This
