The sumatran rhino started to disappear in the 80’s. This animal used to be found in many places which were Most of southeast asia, as well as malaysia, indonesia, and other islands. Their range got smaller and smaller as they became more endangered.The main reason for their endangerment was poaching. Their horns are considered very valuable to poachers because they are often used in traditional medicine but have no science proving it. This rhino is very important to its ecosystem since it used to be very common.Despite being quite a big animal, the sumatran rhino only eats plants. Their diet includes fruits, leaves, twigs, and sometimes crops. Their habitat also contributes to their diet, they like low altitudes where the plants are abundant and easy to reach. It also protects them from natural predators, such as tigers. There are only around 100 sumatran rhinos left. They are able to start mating at the age of 7-10 and only have one calf every 3-4 years.There are some rhinos in captivity, but due to the fact they rarely mate they still need time for the species to get better. Sumatran rhinos are dark grey and around 8 feet long. They are special because they have two horns and have a little bit of fur on them.For wild suzhou i’m palm tree and thank you for listening.
