10 pygmy elephants found dead in Borneo

Ten endangered Borneo pygmy elephants have been found dead in a Malaysian forest under mysterious circumstances, and wildlife officials said Jan. 29 that they probably were poisoned. Carcasses of the baby-faced elephants were found near each other over the past three weeks at the Gunung Rara Forest Reserve, said the director of the wildlife department in Malaysia's Sabah state on Borneo island. Officials said they have not determined whether the poisoning was intentional. The WWF wildlife group estimates that only about 1,500 Borneo pygmy elephants exist. (AP)
