Jeddah, the Asian elephant
Hi hi.. everybody. It is currently a Saturday. Elephants are not found in Brunei or Sarawak. So why is this Elephant here? Does it have a name? Where is this place? Meet Jeddah, the only Asian elephant in Brunei. Read on to find out where you can find this elephant and its rough age.
Jeddah, the Asian elephant
I recorded a video of Jeddah but have yet to upload it on my channel. Do stay tuned. Jeddah's huge enclosure. Beloved by the locals here, I could see lots of fruits bits and bananas scattered around. Jeddah's leg is chained. I guess, this is to ensure public safety as well. I think Jeddah is a female elephant.
This elephant belongs to the royal family of Brunei.
She has dark brown skin. I guess, she's about 50 to 60 this year. She has been here since 1988. At that time, she was 25. So some calculation and I guess she's about 50 to 60. I think she has been at this particular spot for a long time. Free from poachers.
The beautiful beach beside the enclosure. This is near the Polo club of Brunei.
Clear sands with no rubbish. Some trees and blue skies.
Behind me, not seen in the picture is a restaurant. Imagine sitting here for lunch and looking out into the horizon. Clear skies. Well maintained by the royal family.
The plaque that describes Jeddah. Cared for by the Royal Brunei riding and Polo club. It's such an amazing feeling to look at an elephant. None in Sarawak. So where to find Jeddah?
Google: Brunei Polo Club and you'll be able to find this location. Have you seen an elephant?

She looks very old and I agree with your thought of her age. Have a great weekend.
Hi hi.. SreyPov.. thanks for the reply.. hahaha.. yea.. she is quite old.. She keeps standing at her position for a long long long time.. =) Have a great weekend.. =) with your wonderful family.
Ha! Now you have photos of my favourite animal. Elephants have been special to me ever since I was a child. Any opportunity I have to interact with them is a very special experience for me. I have fed them, patted them, played in the sea with them and given them mud baths. If I could adopt one I would 🥰
Hi hi Sharon... Wow finally I found an animal that you like. I have never patted one before. Where would be one place that you would recommend for being close with elephants? Haha... Imagine having an elephant at home, it would be pretty amazing especially when it's an adult. Haha.. thanks for the long comment. Have a great day. Thanks.
