hi my steemian friend will give some of my knowledge about rhinoceros.
Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) is one species of rhinoceros belonging to Indonesia besides Javan Rhinoceros (Rhinocerus sondaicus). Sumatran rhinoceros (Sumatran rhino) is also the smallest species of rhinoceros in the world is one of 5 species of rhinoceros that still survive from extinction other than Javan Rhinos, Indian rhinoceros, African black rhinoceros and African white rhinoceros.
Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) like its close relative, Javan rhino, is increasingly rare and threatened with extinction. It is estimated that the population of two-horned rhinoceros does not reach 200 tails.
Sumatran rhino in English is called Sumatran rhino. Often also referred to as hairy rhino because it has the most hair than other rhino species. The Sumatran rhino in Latin is called Dicerorhinus sumatrensis.
Sumatran Rhino characteristic Height 112-145 cm to shoulder, with total body length and head 2.36-3.18 m, and tail length 35-70 cm. Weights range from 500 to 1,000 kg, with an average of 700-800 kg, although there is a record of a specimen weighing 2,000 kg. As with African rhinoceros species, Sumatran rhino has two horns; the larger is the nasal horn, usually 15-25 cm, while the other horn is usually shaped like a base. Most of the bodies of Sumatran rhinos are covered with reddish brown hair.
Sumatran Rhino habitat includes lowland swamp forest to hill forest, although generally this rare animal is very fond of the forest with a very dense vegetation. The Sumatran rhino is an explorer and fruit eater (especially wild mangoes and fruit ficuses), leaves, small branches and bark. They favor the lowlands, especially in secondary forests where there are many low-growing food sources. Sumatran rhinos live in nature in small groups and are generally solitary (solitary).
As the name suggests, the Sumatran Rhinoceros is one of the unique animals owned by the island of Sumatra. The Sumatran rhino (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) is actually the traditional name of three rhinoceros subspecies, the Sumatran rhinoceros sumatrensis sumatrensis, the Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis harrissoni), and the North Sumatran Rhino (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis lasiotis). The "Sumatran rhino" has now been declared extinct. The "Sumatran rhino" is also found in the wilderness of Borneo. It is estimated that there are still about 50 tails, while the Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis sumatrensis) is still around 200 tails.
The decline in Sumatran rhinoceros population (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) is caused by poaching for horns and other body parts. Although for the practice of illegal hunting is suspected to never happen again in the last ten years.
The main factor in the current decline in Sumatran rhino population is the decline of habitat due to deforestation and forest fires. Due to the decreasing and destruction of forests, the last few years have often reported the emergence of these two-horned rhinos in residential areas and plantations.
so, than that let us keep the Sumatran rhino conservation so that our generation can see it not just know his name only.
