Sumatran Rhino |
The rhinoceros is practically exterminated in large parts of Sumatra, certainly the one-horned species and the few remaining animals have retreated to remote and inhospitable regions.
None of our reporters could estimate the number of rhinos, but all agreed that very few were left. It can be taken to be correct that in South Sumatra only few tens are left, and the question is if the number is not already below the minimum to guarantee the continued existence of the species.
