The Javan Rhino

The Javan rhino (scientific name rhinoceros sondaicus) is a subspecies of rhino that inhabits the tropical forests of Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia. It can stand between 4.6 and 5.8 feet tall, weigh between 1,984 and 5,071 pounds, and grow between 10 and 10.5 feet long. It has a dusky gray skin color and a single horn that can grow up to 10 inches long. It is also very similar in appearance to its close relative the greater-one rhinoceros, with the only differences being that it has a much smaller head and less apparent loose folds of skin. These folds give it the appearance of having armor plating.

The Javan rhino is the most threatened of the five subspecies of rhino, and it is classified as a Critically Endangered species. It is this close to becoming extinct for three reasons. The first reason is that it has been killed at high rates by farmers, poachers, and trophy hunters alike. Because of this, one of the World Wildlife Fund's (WWF's) efforts to save it consists of supporting antipoaching patrols in its habitat. The second reason is that its habitat is highly vulnerable to tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. Because of this, another one of the WWF's efforts to save it consists of moving some of its population to a new habitat that is not highly vulnerable to these natural disasters. The third reason is that almost half of its habitat no longer contains any food due to an infestation of Argena palm. Because of this, yet another one of the WWF's efforts to save it consists of removing Argena palm from this portion of its habitat.
