Sumatran Rhino (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis)
The Sumatran rhino is critically endangered, inhabiting only a few parts of Indonesia. It’s the only rhino in Asia with a double horn. They are often poached for those horns, which are then on the black market. The population is tiny; only some 80 are believed to live in the wild. Scientists are trying to keep them safe within wild sanctuaries that include Kambas National Park in Sumatra and the Kelian Protected Forest. There, these creatures can live their best life. Pahu, a female Sumatran rhino, was rescued in 2018 as part of the conservation efforts to breed and build up the population as well. The photo above was taken of Delilah, another Sumatran rhino, at a sanctuary in April 2020.
