The Javan Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) is similar to the animal on the mainland of India. It is distinguished in the following ways: The head is smaller in comparison to the rest of the body, less powerful, lower and less dented on the top. The folds in the neck are more numerous and pronounced, but below they do not form the bibs found in the Indian animal. The most backwards fold in the neck is much deeper and runs above around the shoulders, in such a way that the entire neck is separated from the rest of the body. The division of the scales is clearer, but on the sides of the body they are smaller. It is equal in size to the Indian rhinoceros and somewhat larger than the Sumatran.
