Sumatran rhinoceros
The Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) is the smallest rhino species.

There are less than 300 Sumatran rhinoceros surviving in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Between 1985 and 1995, the number of Sumatran rhinos declined by 50 percent because
of poaching and habitat destruction.

The Sumatran rhinoceros has unique gray or reddish-brown coat. It is believed to

be the only survivor of the lineage that included the woolly rhinoceros. Sumatran rhinos
stand up to 1.4 m (4.6 ft) at the shoulder and weigh up to 1,000 kg (2,200 lb). They
have folded skin, like the other Asian rhinos, except that it is covered with coarse, bristly
hair. The Sumatran is the only rhino in Asia with two horns. The front horn is usually the
longest, reaching a length of 90 cm (36 inches), and the rear one is sometimes so small
that
the animal looks as if it is single-horned.
