Sumatran Rhinoceros
The smallest of the rhino family (weighing up to 950kg), the Sumatran rhino has two horns (a long front horn and smaller rear horn), long fur covering its body, and a reddish brown skin colour.
Eating more than 50kg of food each day, these herbivorous mammals feed on fruit, leaves, twigs, and bark and prefer lower altitudes, especially secondary forests where low-growing plants are more abundant.
Living to around 35-40 years, females will give birth to one calf every 3-4 years and these calves will live with their mother for 16-17 months before taking up a solitary lifestyle.
Critically endangered, fewer than 100 Sumatran rhinos are thought to be left in the wild, making the Sumatran rhino one of the rarest large mammals in the world.
