The rapidly declining numbers of Forest Elephants in central African and south-east Asian jungles dont seem to have a hard time, they just push everything out of the way and make convenient paths everywhere they go.
I'm not denying the existence of forest elephants. I just always imagined Valenwood being extremely dense, like much more so than your average forest. Still, I like the idea and I like encountering things I didn't expect. And I suppose there would be some variation in climate for a province that size any way. Not everything would be so dense.
