- The Asian elephant is smaller than its African cousin, and can be domesticated as a working animal. It is sometimes (incorrectly) called the Indian elephant. There are about 35-50 thousand Asian elephants still living in the wild, but they are endangered by the destruction of their habitat and also by hunting. Several countries have established wildlife refuges in an effort to protect these elephants. Asian Elephants are species from the Elephas genus. It is distributed in Southeast Asia from India in the west to Borneo in the east.
- The Asian or Asiantic Elephant (Elephas maximus), sometimes known by the name of one of its subspecies, the Indian Elephant, is one of the three living species of elephant, and the only living species of the genus Elephas. It is the largest living land animal in Asia. The species is found primarily in Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Indochina and parts of Nepal and Indonesia (primarily Borneo), Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Bhutan, and Samatra. It is considered endangered, with between 41,410 and 52,345 left in the wild.

It is the largest living land animal in Asia. The species is found primarily in Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Indochina and parts of Nepal and Indonesia (primarily Borneo), Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Bhutan, and Samatra. It is considered endangered, with between 41,410 and 52,345 left in the wild. This animal is widely domesticated, and has been used in forestry in South and Southeast Asia for centuries and also in ceremonial purposes. Historical sources indicate that they were sometimes used during the harvest season primarily for milling. Wild elephants attract tourist money to the areas where they can most readily be seen, but damage crops, and may enter villages to raid gardens.
