They tolerate any environment and region very well, despite this they prefer low-lying areas, less than 3.000 meters above sea level. They do their foraging and mating activities at night, since the day is hotter for them.
#JAVAN RHINOCEROS DIET SKIN#
The few that have survived are especially located in tropical forests, with abundant water, and thick vegetation, the water factor is of vital importance in them, since due to the type of skin it becomes delicate before the sun's rays, hence It happens that they love to be in water and mud puddles, because that way they reduce body heat. They are located mostly in the forests of Indonesia, although as we already mentioned, they can be found in China and also in India, despite the decline in their existence, they could be found in some regions of Bangladesh, Vietnam and Thailand, Javan rhinoceroses are no longer found in these places today. Most rhinoceroses have a perfect sense of smell and hearing, despite this vision is poor, these little data have been supplied by fossils found in museums, footprints and photographs, since the average lifespan is thirty (30) and forty-five (45) years of life. combats, together with the two rows of molar teeth on the lower crown, which are used to chew their hardest foods. The upper lip is long, and in the form of a pincer which it uses to take its food, like the black, Sumatran and Indian rhinoceroses, it has sharp, long incisors and with them they are the ones it uses in its fights and fights. Its skin is grayish, like its cousin the Indian rhinoceros, but its skin is soft, the physiognomy of the head is smaller, and the dermal plates are larger in the neck. The female mostly does not have a horn, it only has a small lump or protuberance, both genders do not use this horn in their confrontations or fights, on the contrary, they use it to knock down the plants that they are going to ingest, remove the mud where they wallow, open the paths for look for spaces according to it in the midst of the strong vegetation where it lives. Through the size of the skulls, the conservationist scientist Groves analyzed that there are differences between the genders, that the females are larger than the males, and like the Indian rhinoceros they have only one horn, while the other species have two, this based on the photographs and measurements of footprints found, and these are smaller than their cousins, in all anatomy. Although studies are totally scarce due to lack of information, these measurements are approximate. The Javan rhinoceros species is a cousin of the Indian rhinoceros, being smaller than this and very similar to the black rhinoceros, in terms of measurements, the length from the head could reach from 3.1 to 3.2 meters, it has a height of 1.4 to 1.7 meters, the weight varies between adults in about 900 to 23.00 kilos.
Javan rhinos can move quickly and easily, regardless of their size and weight.īelow is an illustrative video of the Javan rhinoceros, which helps to visualize it more carefully It should be noted that they primarily have very soft skin, which is not found in other rhinoceros species, this characteristic makes them more sensitive to sunlight. They are animals that, due to their appearance, are usually related to prehistory since their skin is quite imposing, as are dinosaurs, and this has allowed them to adjust and survive today. Incredibly, these Javan rhinoceroses can reach up to 1.80 centimeters in height, and their weight varies from 900 to 2.500 kilos, so they are large animals, they have a horn of 2 to 4 meters in length and compared to other species of rhinoceros is not large.
Due to its location, coexistence habits, being a rare species, and added to this the political instability of the country, does not allow scientists and conservationists to study this type of animal, in fact it is the least known rhinoceros species, as well as is he Harpy eagle which belongs to the lowlands of Central America. It is mostly distributed in the islands of Sumatra and Java, crossing Southeast Asia to India, specifically to the west and in China, currently it is found in the Ujung Kulon National Park, on the Java Island of Indonesia. Origin and description of the Javan rhinocerosĭifferent species of rhinoceroses can be found throughout the world, despite this, the Javan rhinoceros is the one that can least be located because it is in danger of extinction, so fewer and fewer specimens are obtained to learn from them, without However, we have that its scientific name is rhinoceros sondaicus, what nose means in greek + zeros, horn and probe, corresponds to the five (5) species of Indian rhinos, so they maintain similar characteristics, what differentiates them are the dermal, cranial and dental plates. 1 Origin and description of the Javan rhinoceros.
