Java. It is the largest animal on that island and is widely distributed, although nowhere numerous and it only lives in the remote jungles. They are found in the extensive wet and watery forests near the coast to the dry and windy summits of mountains to a height of 8000 to 9000 feet above the sea. Mohnike remarked that ?with the size of these animals it is remarkable that they will ascend mountains from 8000 to 10.000 feet high.'
