Elephants are common at Brumas feeding on the grasses and shrubs that develop each time an area of mature trees is felled.The elephants at Brumas are not persecuted by the plantation managers so they are relatively tame and unafraid of humans.Note the satellite tracker strapped to the neck of this matriarch female elephant for elephant population studies being carried out by WWF and the Sabah Wildlife Department.
