RHINOCEROS
Did you know that Asian rhinos are excellent swimmers and can easily swim across river?
There are two species of rhino living in Indonesia. They are Javan rhino (Rhinoceros sondaicus) and Sumatran rhino (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis). The Javan rhino is probably the rarest large mammal on the planet, with only 63 left in the wild and none in captivity. And every single Javan rhino lives within the confines of the Ujung Kulon National Park in Indonesia as the only population in the world, making the species even more vulnerable to extinction. There are more Sumatran rhinos than Javan. But there are fewer than 100 and Sumatran rhinos are more threatened by poaching. The species was declared extinct in the wild in Malaysia in 2015.
The Javan rhino has a single horn of about about 25 cm. The upper lip is pointed and can be used to grasp food and bring it to the mouth.Sumatran rhinos are the smallest of the living rhinoceroses and the only Asian rhino with two horns.
