INDIAN ELEPHANT 
( Ele phas maxim us ) 
The Indian Elephant ranges, in the wild state, from Ceylon, through 
parts of the Indian peninsula to the Himalayas, and down through Burma, 
Siam and the Malay countries into Sumatra and Borneo. These par- 
ticular specimens were taken in the hills of Mysore. 
The Indian I lephant differs from the African in its smaller size, 
mailer ears, higher forehead and more tractable disposition. It is the 
species which is commonly domesticated in southern Asia.
