the genus Elephas and is distributed in Southeast Asia from

 India in the west to Borneo in the east. 

Three subspecies are recognized — 

Elephas maximus maximus from Sri Lanka, 

the Indian elephant or E. m. indicus from mainland Asia, and 

E. m. sumatranus from the island of Sumatra. 

Asian elephants are the largest living land animals in Asia. (Wikipedia)
