Original text on this topic:
Ujung Kulon, Java. The rhino feed primarily on the shoots of a variety of young trees. To reach their forage, they frequently walk over the saplings, forcing them down between their front legs. One observer saw them knee-deep in the sea and believed they ate drifting mangroves.
