Javan Rhino |

In March 1993, WWF sponsored a survey. The report states that the core area of rhino distribution is about 35,000 ha. A total of 19 rhino tracks were encountered and measured. Based on differences in width it could be concluded that there were 7 to 9 individuals in the survey area. Footprints were mostly less than 25 cm in diameter. One wonders whether it is really Javan Rhino in Cat Loc. All small prints fall well within the range of the Sumatran Rhino, but could have been measured from vague prints. Judging from the tracks sizes alone, one would conclude that there are Sumatran Rhinos in Cat Loc. The existence of the Sumatran rhino in Vietnam cannot be excluded.
