The Sumatran Elephant Elephas maximus sumatranus

The Sumatran Elephant, native to the tropical forests of Sumatra, Indonesia, is critically endangered, with fewer than 2,800 individuals remaining. These magnificent elephants can weigh up to 11,000 pounds and play a key role in their ecosystem by dispersing seeds. Habitat loss and illegal poaching for ivory have driven their numbers down. Conservationists are working hard to protect their habitat and prevent further population decline.
