A 'white elephant' isn't actually a separate species. They are very rare Asian elephants, typically with albinism, which gives them a lighter, pinkish-grey skin and fair hair.

You'll mainly find reverence for them in Southeast Asian countries. Thailand and Myanmar are particularly famous for this. In these cultures, the white elephant is considered extremely sacred and auspicious, a true symbol of a monarch's power and prosperity. So, they aren't just found in a jungle; they are revered treasures, often kept by royalty or the state itself.
