Rhinos are basically nocturnal animals avoiding exercise during the heat of the day. While it is hot they usually remain in the shade or in mud wallows.
Like all rhinos, both the Javan and Sumatran species are principally nocturnal animals. They move about only when it is cool, spending the hot part of the day resting in the shade or in mud wallows.
