Sumatran rhinoceros

The Sumatran rhinoceros is a critically endangered, two-horned rhinoceros native to Southeast Asia. It is the smallest living rhinoceros and is distinguished by reddish-brown hair.

Rhinocerotidae: Rhinocerotidae is the mammal family comprising all living and extinct rhinoceroses. The Sumatran rhinoceros is one of five living species in this family.
Browser (herbivory): A browser is an herbivore that feeds mainly on leaves, shoots, fruits, and other vegetation above ground level. The Sumatran rhinoceros browses on diverse rainforest plants rather than grazing mainly on grasses.
Way Kambas National Park: Way Kambas National Park is a protected area in southern Sumatra, Indonesia. It contains the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary, where captive breeding and care take place.
Critically endangered: Critically endangered is the highest threatened category assigned by the IUCN Red List before extinction in the wild. The species’ tiny, fragmented population meets this threshold of extreme extinction risk.
Dicerorhinus: Dicerorhinus is the rhinoceros genus containing the Sumatran rhinoceros. It is the sole surviving species in its genus.
Dichromatism: Dichromatism is color vision based on two types of cone photoreceptors. Its limited color vision is consistent with the visual system of many mammals.
Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary: The Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary is a managed breeding and care facility within Way Kambas National Park. It provides protected conditions for breeding and veterinary care.
Habitat fragmentation: Habitat fragmentation divides continuous habitat into smaller, isolated patches. Fragmentation separates rhinoceros groups and limits opportunities to find mates.
Rhinoceros horn: A rhinoceros horn is a keratin structure growing from the animal’s skin, without a bony core. Its two horns distinguish this species from one-horned Asian rhinoceroses.
Chemical communication: Chemical communication is the transmission of information through scent-producing substances. Scent marking helps solitary individuals exchange information in dense forest.
