    Sumatran Rhinoceros

    The Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus


    sumatrensis) is the smallest rhino species. It is also
    the most distinctive rhinoceros. It has been
    hunted a lot that it is almost extinct. There are less
    than 300 Sumatran rhinoceroses surviving in
    Malaysia and Indonesia. Between 1985 and 1995,
    the number of Sumatran rhinos declined by 50
    percent because of poaching and habitat
    destruction.
    The Sumatran rhinoceros has unique grey or reddish-
    brown coat. It is believed to be the only survivor of the
    lineage that included the woolly rhinoceros. Sumatran
    rhinos stand up to 1.4 m (4.6 ft) at the shoulder and
    weigh up to 1,000 kg (2,200 lb). They have folded skin, like
    the other Asian rhinos, except that it is covered with coarse,
    bristly hair. The Sumatran is the only rhino in Asia with two
    horns. The front horn is usually the longest, reaching a
    length of 90 cm (36 inch), and the rear one is sometimes so
    small that the animal looks as if it is single-horned.
    They live mainly in forest-covered hills near water and
    are known to be good at climbing slopes and swimming.
    They move mainly at night, and spend most of the day
    wallowing in mud-holes and pools. Sumatran
    rhinoceroses usually feed on leaves, twigs, and fruits.
    Female rhinos reach sexual maturity at about
    the age of five or six. The males mature between
    the ages of seven and eight. However, they do
    not father calves until they have claimed a
    territory, which may take them three or four
    years. Rhinos always have a single calf, born
    after a gestation period of 15 to 18 months. The
    calf may feed on its mother’s milk for up to two
    years, and it usually remains with its mother
    until she is about to give birth once more. The
    calf is only raised by its mother.
