 In about 1395, the Raja of Java gave two elephants to the ruler Raja Baginda of Sulu.These animals were reputedly the founders of a feral population at the western end of Borneo.When in 1521 the remnants of Ferdinand Magellan’s circumnavigation of the Earth reached Brunei, the chronicler of the voyage recounted that the delegation from the flagship "Victoria" was conveyed to and from the ruler's palace on elephants caparisoned in silk.
