Rare animal: Javan Rhino
The Javan Rhino is only found in Indonesia. It is the rarest of the rhino species with 37-45 animals existing only in Indonesia. The last Javan rhino is supposed to have been poached in Vietnam in 2010. In Indonesia, Javan rhinos live only in Java's Ujung Kulon National Park, where the population emerges to have stabilized, largely because they are physically guarded from harm by Rhino Protection Units. They were poached for their horns and supposedly used for medical causes.

Rare Martial Arts : Eskrima
Another names of Eskrima(alternately Escrima) are Kali, and Arnis de Mano. Eskrima is a form of Filipino martial art that is focused just about entirely on stick and blade fighting. The backbone of this martial art centers on simplicity. It was born of a need to train a lot of people (Filipinos) how to beat the hell out of a lot of other people (Spanish conquistadors) with not a lot to work with sticks.
As an end result, only battle-tested techniques that will simply, surely, and oh-so-quickly ruined your opponents head open are taught in Eskrima. Unlike many forms of martial arts, there is no ritual war dance associated with it. Eskrima warriors are known for their ability to lay a fool out with or without a weapon to the point that there are rightful techniques that require a warrior to just "bite the living shit" out of their opponent. Sheesh.

Monito Del Monte(Dromiciops gliroides)
The Monito del monte or otherwise known as the 'little mountain monkey' is actually not a monkey, but rather a marsupial, thought to have arrived from Australia long ago. This little mountain monkey found in central Chile and in Argentina. Adults can reach 26 cm (10 inches) in total length, and fat adults may weigh up to 49 grams (1.7 ounces). These ' mountain monkeys' can be usually found in thick forests, where the wetness is rather high. Monito del Monte makes nests for its home and its young, like birds. Their nests can be found all over, on the ground or in the trees since they are semi-aboreal. They eat insects and small amounts of fruit. And their unusual tail, which can store sufficient fat to make this small pipsqueak double in size. This lets them to live for long periods without food.
