Pygmy Elephant Cow with her Calf

Pygmy Elephant calf standing shyly next to her mother as they walk along an elephant trail on the edge of the rainforest, foraging amongst the lush grassland. The Borneo Pygmy Elephant are a distinct subspecies, found only in the rainforest and riverside of Borneo. The Pygmy Elephants of Borneo are considered to be the cutest of elephants due to their baby like features, larger than normal ears and extra long tail. Elephant calves are able to walk an hour or two after they are born, but continue to nurse from their mothers for the first six months of their lives, after which they forage for vegetation alongside their mother.

Stunningly beautiful wildlife photography. Our animal pictures are printed individually to order in high resolution with vibrant colours. All of our prints will provide you with beautiful wall décor for years to come.
