Pygmy elephants were isolated about 300,000 years ago from their cousins on mainland Asia and Sumatra, making them the smallest Asian elephant. Over time, they became smaller with relatively larger ears, longer tails and straighter tusks.
The primary threat to these elephants is the loss of continuous forests. Mammals of their size require large areas to find sufficient food. The large blocks of forests they require are fragmented by conversion of natural forests to commercial plantations. Logging, expanding agriculture, and palm oil plantations are reducing contact between sub populations, as well as shrinking the forest area available for each sub-population.
