Javan Rhino

　　The Javan Rhino is the rarest of the rhino species with 27-44 animals surviving only in Indonesia. The last Javan rhino is believed to have been poached in Vietnam in 2010. In Indonesia, Javan rhinos live only in Java’s Ujung Kulon National Park, where the population appears to have stabilized, largely because they are physically guarded from harm by Rhino Protection Units. The continuation of this protection, combined with establishing a second population elsewhere in Indonesia, provides the best possible hope for the species’ survival.

Current Javan Rhino Numbers and Distribution
There currently are approximately 27-44 Javan rhinos surviving in in one country, Indonesia.
Biology
The Javan Rhino is found only in Indonesia’s Ujung Kulon National Park in west Java.
Javan rhinos appear to be more adaptable feeders than other rhino species: in the tropical rain forest where the species now survives, it is a pure browser, but it possibly was a mixed feeder (both browse and grass) in other parts of its historic range where the species is generally believed to have occupied more lowland areas, especially along watercourses.
Longevity is unknown, but Javan rhinos probably live to 30-40 years.
Gestation is unknown but is presumed to be approximately 15-16 months, as in other rhinos. Inter-birth intervals are unknown, but mothers probably give birth to one calf every 1-3 years.
Females reach sexual maturity between 5 and 7 years of age; males mature at approximately 10 years of age.
Javan rhinos are solitary in nature and are rarely seen.
