Javan rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus)

 

The Javan rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus), also called the Sunda rhinoceros or axis rhino [2] or the lesser one-horned rhinoceros, is an extremely rare member of the Rhinocerotidae family and is one of five living rhino species. This rhino belongs to the same genus as the Indian rhinoceros and has an armor-like skin with a mosaic pattern. However, it is smaller than the Indian rhinoceros, more closely related to the black rhinoceros of the genus Diceros, measuring 3.1–3.2 m long and 1.4–1.7 m high. This rhino horn is usually less than 25 cm and smaller than the horn of other rhino species. Only adult male rhinos have horns, while female rhinos have no horns at all.

The Javan rhinoceros can live up to 30-45 years in its natural habitat. They are common in lowland rainforests, wet grasslands, and extensive floodplains. This rhino is a creature that likes to be alone, except when courting and when raising children. However, they may congregate near the occasional salt lick or wallow. In its home range, the Javan rhinoceros has no natural predators other than humans. The rhino usually avoids humans, and scientists and conservationists rarely carry out direct research because of its extremely rare status and the potential dangers to this species. Researchers rely on camera traps and fecal samples to study their behavior and health, making the Javan rhinoceros the least studied rhino species.
