Javan Rhino |
Rhinos are apparently seen only at the end of the dry season (April and May) and at the beginning of the rainy season (May and June). In this period they seem to spend their time in or near ponds, creeks, or rivers. Rhinos and elephants live in the same kind of habitat, which might explain why more rhino tracks are not identified as such. According to villagers, the tracks of both animals look very similar. Since there are more elephants than rhinos, it is likely that when tracks are seen the villagers identify them as those of elephants.
