Another elephant found decapitated in Sabah, raising fears of poaching pattern


KOTA KINABALU: In a grim echo of a similar incident earlier this year, another Borneo pygmy elephant has been found brutally killed in the Tawau region—its decapitated carcass left to rot in Tibow.

The discovery, eerily reminiscent of a case reported in January along the nearby Kalabakan-Sapulut road, has raised alarms of organised poaching targeting one of Sabah’s most iconic and endangered species.
