Javan rhinoceros  (Rhinoceros sondaicus)

Once widespread in south-east Asia, the Javan rhinoceros is now found only in two small areas. The Indonesian Javan rhinoceros subspecies, (Rhinoceros sondaicus sondaicus), is found in a single population within the Ujung Kulon National Park in Java (6). The Vietnamese Javan rhinoceros, (R. s. annamiticus), is perched on the very brink of extinction, as it is thought that only around ten individuals persist in the Cat Tien National Park in the Dong Nai region of Vietnam (6).

The Javan rhinoceros inhabits dense rainforests with mud wallows and plenty of water, showing a preference for low-lying sites (2).
