Until five years ago [1991], the Sumatran Rhino was believed to be extinct in Way Kambas NP. However, reports suggested that rhinos might still occur in the area. In the earliest reports, it was unclear if the species was Sumatran or Javan. However, the size of some of the tracks indicated that it was the Sumatran species. Its occurrence has now been unequivocally confirmed.
