The Javan rhinoceros is absent from Sumatra and Borneo, but occurs in Malaysia and further to the west. The most probable explanation is that both Javan and Sumatran rhino species used to occur on Sumatra, and that the one-horned one has become extinct. Note: Recently, Dammerman has intimated t...

When I stayed at the peak of Koerintji, there would have been there a white rhinoceros, whose horn is much valued by the locals as a ?obat' or rather ?djimat', but fortunately I never met him. All paths in the forest are in fact previous hunting trails for kidjang and rhinoceros.
