It’s not native to the island however, as it comes from tropical regions of Central and South America. Since I shot this photo many years ago, it took me a while to figure out what the colorful […]
Marty’s photo of the day #5087: This is a Borneo pygmy elephant. It is a unique, genetically distinct subspecies of the Asian elephant, about 20% smaller than mainland Asian elephants, reaching a height of roughly 9 feet. (Photographed on the island of Borneo.)

Marty’s photo of the day #4551: I photographed these baby orangutans while hiking alone at night on the island of Borneo. They’d been rescued from some shitty thing humans did and then escaped the good humans who would eventually release them into the wild. I made sure they reached safety.
