In Real Life
Sumatran rhinoceros, also known as the hairy rhinoceros or Asian two-horned rhinoceros, is the smallest member among the five surviving species of rhinoceros. However, it is still a large mammal with should height of 112–145 cm, head-to-body length of 2–3 m and a tail of 35–70 cm. It weighs up to 1,000kg (2,200 lb). It has two horns where the nasal horn measures up to 25 cm and other being a stub. It has a coat of reddish-brown hair over most of its body. Like other rhino species, it has a poor eyesight.
Sumatran rhinoceros are mostly solitary animals but they also communicates through leaving footsteps on soil, twisting saplings into patterns and leaving their own faeces. Their diet includes young saplings, leaves and shoots. They rely on salt licks to obtain necessary minerals that their main diet lacks.
The rhinos once could be found in rainforests, swamps and cloud forests in a few Southeast Asian regions like India, Bhutan, Laos, Thailand and China. Now they are critically endangered due to poaching for their horns and only a few populations inhabits Sumatra and Borneo. As they are solitary and widely scattered across their range, it is hard to determine their number. Researchers have estimated fewer than 100 of them still live in the wild.
