Sumatran Rhinoceros
Dicerorhinus sumatrensis

The Sumatran, a.k.a. the hairy rhino, Dicerorhinus sumatrensis, is probably the most endangered of all rhinoceros species. Numbers have declined over 50% due to poaching over the last 15 years. Fewer than 300 Sumatran Rhino survive in very small and highly fragmented populations in Southeast Asia with Indonesia and Malaysia being the only significant range states. Furthermore, there is no indication that the situation is showing any signs of stabilizing.

Other Names

Asian Two-Horned Rhinoceros: the only two-horned rhino in the Asian region.
Hairy Rhinoceros: refers to the long, shaggy hair found on the species in contrast to the other species which appear hairless.
