Real-life adventure story, facts and experiments for children aged 8-12. Pygmy means small, but pygmy elephants are the largest mammals in Borneo, and they can be very dangerous. When Wildlife Wong is tracking bears in the rainforest, he tries his best to avoid them, but he isnt always successful. In this book, the third in this acclaimed series, curious elephants take their own photos with his camera traps, an angry male chase him down the road, and a family of elephants sit on his car in the middle of the night! So, what will Wong do when a lonely baby elephant walks across the road in front of him? After the story, learn cool facts about pygmy elephants and their rainforest home. Then see if you can build your own camera from a shoebox!

Australian author (and avid traveller) Sarah Pye met Malaysian Dr Wong Siew Te in 2012. She asked what she could do to help sun bears. He replied, "do what you do best". Those five powerful words sparked a Doctor of Creative Arts degree, an enduring friendship, and many adventures.
