About This File
Also known as the "hairy rhino," the Sumatran rhinoceros is among the world's most endangered mammals..
In the past 10 years, almost 50 percent of these rhinos have been lost to poaching. Now less than 300 survive in isolated pockets in Southeast Asia. Besides being the only rhino with hair on its body, the Sumatran rhino is also the only two-horned species in Asia. It has rarely been seen because of the dense rainforest and moss forest where it lives. This rhino is considered a descendant of the prehistoric woolly rhinoceros, depicted in Stone Age cave drawings in Europe.
