Javan Rhino |

It is a secretive animal which runs away from humans, but when it is cornered or when it has a calf, it will stay put and is often a difficult adversary. Schneider tells about an encounter where the rhinoceros fiercely attacked them without provocation and where they could only escape by running away.
