Borneos Pygmy Elephants - Go Wild
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
For many years Borneo’s diminutive pygmy forest elephants were believed to be a feral population derived from domesticated imported Asian elephants.. Now DNA testing has confirmed they are a unique subspecies, who’ve lived on Borneo for at least 300,000 years. This story tells of tells the story of a forest guide, Bert Dausip, who observes and befriends the elephants. His daily expeditions deep into the jungle reward him with some of the most intimate and close up encounters with forest elephants ever filmed. The film culminates in his successful mission to save them from poachers, and have their forest home protected Following Bert we witness some incredible footage revealing the most intimate secrets of elephant family life.
Bert discovers one year old Fig and his elephant family living in the forests alongside the Kinabatangan River, in north-eastern Sabah. Occasionally these animals are seen bathing in the river - a magnificent sight where 50 elephants come together for a spectacular water show. Adults, juveniles and infants all spraying water, rolling in mud, and socialising. Most often the elephants move about in smaller family groups in the forest.
In befriending these elephants Bert has discovered something amazing: Pygmy elephants are far gentler than anyone could have ever imagined. He can regularly approach them within just a few meters. They aren’t the aggressive killers that people think they are. Even females with newborns accept his presence.
Getting so close to the elephants means that Bert has been able to get to know them and observe these secretive animals close up. What he has seen, and what this film will show is very special indeed.
No expert who studies forest elephants in Asia or Africa has ever gotten this close to their subjects, but Bert can. He is probably the only person in the world who can track down observe forest elephants in their wild forest home on a daily basis. This in itself is a spectacular accomplishment, but little did Bert know that once he collected the DNA samples for science his familiarity with the pygmy elephants would become crucial to an action plan to save these remarkable animals and their habitat.

Burt you're a wonderful human being, I'm thankful you're on this planet helping elephant's. I was so happy to see the snare removed from the leg. Many blessings to all of you 🙏
It´s really amazing to see wild elephants living and thriving, doing exactly what they want.
Elephants are so intelligent and have great feelings of love, life death and sympathy, I wish more people were like them.
What an amazing video. I loved watching it. It is so great to see the elephants started to trust Bert and allowed him to stay close to the group. Helping the wounded animal will only increased that feeling. Just hope the elephants don't meet the wrong kind of people. Restoring the jungle is something which needs to be done everywhere. Who ever allowed companies to start oil palm plantations in areas where there was jungle should be arrested and put away for life. 👍
This was an amazing documentary. Burt is equally amazing in his courage to bring the story about these pygmy elephants to our attention. I salute the vets and their determination to heal the wounded elephants and preserve their habitat as well. I hope the commercial loggers and the deforestation of the unique biodiversity of this island are halted and the predervation of the forest ensures the pygmy elephants will survive long into the future.
What an impressive young man. Thank you for doing all that you can to help our elephants. Elephants are family. They just want to be left alone in peace and live their lives in freedom in the forest where they belong.
Thank you for caring for these lovely elephants. ❤️🥰
Thank you for helping the injured and thank you for helping them live in peace.
Mr. Burt, thank you for your bravery and persistence; cheers for a great documentary!
Blessed Elephants and the Wonderful people who dedicate their lives looking after these precious Bros & Sists.
I love elephants! Baby ellies are so sweet!💕🐘💕

It's always good to see people interact in caring ways with animals. The path forward can only be found by the inhabitants.
I'm here having a huge crush on this man..wow his smile is just 😍

Some people consider these animals a pest? They have been there for 300.000 years, wow. It is their home. So who is the pest here? Those elephants are heavenly. I love them. Borneo is so unique and beautiful. It should never be touched.
I've watched this so many times over the years and it never gets old. Same as 'Biggest Nose In Borneo' about the Proboscis Monkeys in Borneo. It's actually an older doc.

Amazing reasearch and care for these rarely seen elephants. Thank you for sharing this.
So interesting that the baby elephants’ defensive strategy is to try to back kick rather than charge. It’s funny to see them keep turning their backsides to him, lol. At 16:06, Flora determines where he is by smelling with her trunk, adjusts herself slightly, pauses and acts like she’s not going to do anything and then suddenly throws a kick right at him, which came close.
Brilliant work by both the conservationists as well as the film makers.
Just simply beautiful.
There is such a deep magical wisdom in their eyes 🥰
Wow - what a beautiful video! Bert's love and respect for the elephants was very poignant. Thank you to all in Sabah who protect them so that they can live long, happy lives.

These animals are amazing, and Bert is a hero for his efforts on their behalf.
This part of the world is pure magic! We, the global community MUST save and preserve it! I believe vasts parts of islands must be set aside and paid for by everyone to protect it! Pay for the forests and pay for the rangers to patrol them and pay for centres to rescue wildlife in need. Money talks unfortunately...I do not see any other way...we ALL must contribute to this preservation. Thank you for this amazing documentary...it is a keeper...:-)((
Precious animals! Hopefully they are protected forever.
