| Summary: | Sumateran Elephant (Elephas maximus sumatranus) is one of The Asian
Elephants subspecies (Elephas maximus) in Sumatera island. The corelation
between body size and body weight has been reported by Hill et al (1997) and
Kanchanapangka et al., (2007) but there is no researches on correlation of carpal
circumference and the body size of Sumateran Elephant. The purpose of the
research is to find the corelation between the carpal circumference and body size
(body length, shoulder height, chest girth, pelvic width, and distance between
angulus scapulae caudalis and tuber coxae) in the adult Sumateran Elephants
(>20 years old) and young Sumateran Elephants (<20 years old). From the
corelation obtained, the equation relating the tarsal circumference and body size
variables will be derived.
Data collection were made using modified calipers and measuring tape in
Gembira Loka Zoo, Taman Wisata Borobudur, and Taman Safari Indonesia 2
Prigen. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using correlation and
regression with Microsoft Excel 2010 and SPSS 16 software to identify the
correlation of the carpal circumference and body size. The linear regressions of
both adult and young elephants carpal circumference and body length are y =
2,2808x + 107,94 and y = 4,2029x � 71,742 respectively. For shoulder height are
y = 1,4969x + 103,86 and y = 3,0706x � 34,178. The chest girth are y = 2,1026x +
160,12 and y = 3,95x + 7,7167. For pelvic width are y = 0,6957x + 64,56 and y =
1,6412x � 17,19. And linear regressions of both adult and young elephants carpal
circumference and distance between angulus scapulae caudalis and tuber coxae
are y = 0,2514x + 91,127 and y = 1,6265x � 21,146 respectively.
The results show that the carpal circumference have moderate relation
with chest girth of adult elephants |
