Sumatran rhinoceros — size comparison — facts and sources
The Sumatran rhinoceros lives in dense South-East Asian forests. It has skin folds, two horns and reddish hair, usually thicker in young animals. It eats leaves, twigs, fruit and bark, often using established trails and muddy wallows.
Wallowing helps protect the skin from sun and insects. Adults meet infrequently, which makes breeding still more difficult in scattered populations.
Forest loss, past hunting and the isolation of surviving animals have reduced opportunities for contact between them.
