Sumatran Rhinos are Found in Kalimantan Forest Indonesia
Shocking news came from Indonesia with regard to the preservation of the
rarest animals on earth the Sumatran rhinoceros. The Sumatran rhino is the most endangered rhinos in the world . The
original title 'two-horned rhinoceros smallish', but because the name is too
long, eventually called the Sumatran rhino.
In this world there are 5 species of rhinoceros . Three species of
rhinoceros of which are in Asia , the Sumatran rhino (Sumatran Rhino) two-horned
or Dicerorhinus sumatrensis (Fischer, 1814), the Javanese rhino (Javanese Rhino)
one-horned or Rhinocerus sondaicus (Desmarest, 1822), and the Indian Rhinoceros (Indian Rhino)
one-horned or Rhinocerus unicornis (Linnaeus , 1758).
Rhinoceros breeding locations in Indonesia centralized in Ujung Kulon forest,
Banten, West Java. While the two-horned rhino in the forest centralized in Sumatera
forest. The existence of the Sumatran rhino in Kalimantan forest really shocking and
exciting news. That means that the Sumatran rhino population is already
endangered can still be saved. Joint monitoring team of the WWF - Indonesia and
the Government of West Kutai secured physical evidence through video-camera
