Miniature Elephants

Has anyone heard of these miniature elephants in Thai-Land? All that I can find on them stemmed from a Beyond Bizzare episode. Here is a quick overview, hopefully someone can enlighten me on these curious creatures and if they actualy may exist.

Thai Water Elephants, an ancient belief, and its modern evidence,� in
Thailand have been found and documented some very notable examples
of the bodies of �Miniature Water Elephants�, tiny poisonous pachyderms
that are said to inhabit remote rivers and streams,� investigations by
scientists have so far been unable to prove or disprove the existence of
these diminutive dumbos.

lol. Wow, those would be so cute. I remember seeing VERY VERY large Elephants in India a while back, but this is just odd.

So far, this is all I could find.

Deep.

Sounds like a folk legend -- however, there ARE minature mammoths. They're not teeny-tiny, but they were the size of a young elephant. There's remains of them on a California island and on the island of Flores, where they found the "hobbit people."

this reminds me of the book jurassic park. IN the beginning of the book, they were able to create a miniature elephant. THe only downside of their creation that it was very violent and mean.

miniature elephants? what miniature elephants? are they pink?

Yeah I saw that episode. They did xrays and they didny have enough spine things. Im guessing its an invention t rip off tourists like the jackolope
