Javan Rhino
|
| Both the Javan one-horned rhino and the Sumatran two-horned rhino are generally forest dwelling animals. The Javan rhino seems rather less adapted to steep terrain and lives mostly in low swampy areas or in more gradually sloped wet mountain forests. It is probable that both species were once c... |

White Rhino

| In so far as habits and habitats are concerned they do not differ from their South African cousins. They live in savannah bush, where they are encountered singly, in pairs or in small troops of five or six head. |

| Both species of Southeast Asian rhino can probably live in almost any kind of topography. They probably once inhabited much of the swampy lowlands and wet highlands of our area, but have been forced exclusively to the most inaccessible mountain forests by the pressure of human agriculture and hu... |

|
| Both the Javan one-horned rhino and the Sumatran two-horned rhino are generally forest dwelling animals. The sumatran rhino seems to be well adapted to any wet habitat. It can thrive and is usually found in the steepest and most impenetrable mountain forests. It is probable that both species w... |

Sumatran Rhino
|
| They can move over rocky and steep terrain with an ease that astounds many observers. In dense vegetation they move with relative ease by burrowing underneath the vegetation rather than charging over it like elephants. Using such a burrowing technique they make many well-worn tunnels through th... |

| Summarizing the information available, we know that in 1937 a sondaicus was shot in this vicinity, which is a typical habitat, i.e. low swampy ground. The species is also known to travel to higher levels periodically. The sumatrensis is more apt to be found in the hills near the sources of stre... |
