The Facts on Java Rhino
The Java Rhinoceros is also known as the
lesser one horned rhinoceros. This species is a member of the Rhinocerotidae
family and is included in one of the five extant rhinoceroses. The Java Rhino
has a resemblance with the Indian Rhinoceros because they come from the same
genus. Both species have similar mosaicked skin that looks like armor and as
strong as armor. However, the Java Rhino is smaller than the Indian Rhino
because its length is only 3 – 3.2 meter in average and 1.4 – 1.7 meter in
average height. In term of the size, this rhino is almost similar to the black
rhinoceros from the Diceros genus.
