JAVAN RHINO
Rhinoceros sondaicus
The historical range of the Javan Rhino is uncertain, but it did extend well beyond the island after which it is named. In the far north, its occurrence would have overlapped with the Indian Rhino, and in the south with the Sumatran Rhino.
The Javan Rhino has been devastated by poaching and land-use pressure. It has been reduced to one tiny population of no more than 75 on the western tip of Java.
