Sumatran Rhinoceros

The Sumatran Rhino once lived throughout southeast Asia but today is only found in the rainforests on Sumatra, an island in Indonesia. The Sumatran Rhino is the smallest rhinoceros species, as well as the one with the most fur.

There are only about 300 Sumatran Rhinos left in the world because of hunting and deforestation.
