Rhinos are the second largest continental animals under elephants alone, generally weighing between 2000-5000 kg, but not all rhinos are so large, in Asia there is a rhino that weighs as much as a domestic cow - Sumatran rhinoceros, the average weight is only 700 kg, the largest individual 1100 kg, is the smallest rhinoceros in existence!
Sumatran rhinos were once also widely distributed, including in southern China, but unfortunately they have become extinct! Now the smallest rhinos are only distributed in the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo, but they are still sporadic and very small!

Unlike other Asian rhinos, the Sumatran rhino has two horns, which is different from the Indian rhinoceros and Javan rhino in Asia, and is the only Asian rhino with two horns, the front horn is about 20 cm long, but once the maximum reached 81 cm, and the posterior horn is usually less than 10 cm!
Sumatran rhinos are also a little different from other rhinos, Sumatran rhinos are the smallest among rhinos, but they are the noisiest of rhinos, Sumatran rhinos almost non-stop vocalization, which is easy to attract attention! (Pay attention to the six dimensions of nature And let nature know nature!) ）
Sumatran rhinos are solitary animals, like other rhinos, very much like to soak in the mud, perhaps to eliminate parasites, mud pits will be used for 2-12 weeks, and then abandoned, maybe they feel that this mud pit has no parasite eradication effect, go back to find new mud pits, they will spend a long time in the mud bath!
Sumatran rhinoceros is as sad as the fate of other rhinos, for rhino horns, excessive poaching, coupled with habitat destruction, leaving its global population of only more than 200, Sumatran rhinoceros has become a critically endangered animal, is a very rare and precious protected animal!
