    The rare Rhino from Borneo is going to extinct soon if more & more forests are cleared for agriculture & logging.

    Recently, the image of this rare Rhino was captured by video in the jungle of Sabah, northern Borneo.

    Forgot when I watched from Nat Geo or Discovery, saying that keeping this rhino in captivity is already a big challenge, none survived long.

    Then I also remember this forgot-what national park in central sumatra, is the biggest home of sumatra rhino, and there is this veteran forest guard working there, who goes to the forest everyday, expert in tracking these rhino, but he only encountered like 50 plus times in passed 20 years!! Average less than 3 times per year!

    And so far nobody captured the video of this animal in the wild during day time...in the program, it was showing a couple rhino in the zoo or something.

    News about the rare Sumatran Rhino gave birth to young rhino in captivity; 'The Star '(May 22, 2007):

    "EMI, the female Sumatran rhino, did it again! She gave birth to her third baby, a 36kg calf, on April 29, at her home in Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden in the United States.

    This is a world record thrice over – no other Sumatran rhino has ever bred in captivity, and Emi has done it three times. Her first calf – Andalas, born in 2001 – was the first Sumatran rhino born in captivity in 112 years. This was followed by a female calf, Suci, in 2004. Ipuh, the father of all three calves, is the only successful sire in captivity. "
