@BhagyaMani: How many Asian elephant subspecies are there? Is it three or four? What do recent studies say? Can you update the Taxonomy section accordingly? Thanks. Wolverine XI (talk to me) 12:07, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

The info in this section is still up-to-date : still 3 subspecies recognised : Indian, Sri Lankan + Sumatran, but not the Bornean as of 2020. The Bornean is traditionally included under the Indian, and I did not find any paper on taxonomic status of Bornean elephant later than 2020, i.e. the notes in resp. Red List.
