From 1974 to 1980 the distribution and behaviour of the Sumatran rhinoceros was examined in one of the few areas where there is still a viable population, the Gunung Leuser National Park in northern Sumatra. As the animals are very shy and rare, the study was conducted through tracks. Individual rhinos could be recognized by comparing he tracks and plastercasts, and the movements of the animals could be traced. Through analysis of the patterns many new aspects of their behaviour could be discovered.
