Morphometrics of a wild Asian elephant exhibiting disproportionate dwarfism

2013-12-24

Abstract excerpt

Dwarfism is a condition characterized by shorter stature, at times accompanied by differential skeletal growth pro-portions relative to the species-typical physical conformation. Causes vary and well-documented in humans as well as certain mammalian species in captive or laboratory conditions, but rarely observed in the wild. Here we report on a single case of apparent dwarfism in a free-ranging adult male Asian e...
