Rare animal: Javan Rhino

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.
