The Sumatran elephant is smaller than the Indian elephant subspecies. Its population is decreasing and it is a very threatened species. Around 2000 to 2700 Sumatran elephants are left in the wild based on a survey in 2000. As many as 65% of the Sumatran elephant population has disappeared due to human killing, and 30% are likely killed by poisoning by humans. About 83% of the Sumatran elephant habitat has become plantation areas due to aggressive encroachment.

This elephant has many size variants, which can be adapted to market needs.
