The Javan Rhino is threatened

The Javan Rhinoceros is a herbivorous browser that belongs to the order of the Perissodactyla and is one of the three species of Rhinos native to Asia.

The Javan rhino is very similar in appearance to the closely-related Indian rhinoceros, however, it is slightly smaller, with a much smaller head and the skin folds less apparent than in the Indian rhino.

The Javan rhinoceros grabs its food with its prehensile upper lip and knocks down saplings to reach the leaves, shoots and fruit. The upper lip is pointed and prehensile and can be used to grasp food and bring it to the mouth.

Javan Rhinos are very agile and quiet in their forest environment.

Javan Rhinos are very solitary except for the females when they have a calf.

The Javan rhinos habitats are tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests such as dense rainforests with mud wallows and plenty of water, showing a preference for low-lying sites. These sites are under intense pressure and thus the Javan Rhino is threatened by the pressure of human activity.

Their fertility is dropping and there are less being born each year.

Save the Rhino before its gone.
