Horned Javan rhino-one or small (Rhinoceros sondaicus) is a member of the family Rhinocerotidae and one of the five rhinoceros that still exist. This rhino into the same genus with the rhino india and have skin that resembles bermosaik armor. Rhino has a length of 3.1 to 3.2 m and height 1.4 to 1.7 m. Rhino rhino is smaller than India and more closely in the body of a black rhino. Culanya size is usually less than 20 cm, smaller than the other horn rhino species. Rhino rhino was once one of Asia's most widely spread. Although called "Javan" is not limited to animals living on the island of Java alone, but in the entire archipelago, throughout Southeast Asia and in India and China. The species is now extremely critical status, with only a few populations are found in the wild, and none in zoos. Rhino is probably the rarest mammals on earth population of 40-50 rhinos live in Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia. Java rhino population in the wild the other was in Cat Tien National Park, Vietnam with an estimated population of no more than eight in 2007. Java rhino population reduction due to hunting for culanya taken, which is very valuable in traditional Chinese medicine, at a price of $ 30,000 per kilogram on the black market. Rhino population reduction is also caused by loss of habitat, which is mainly caused by the war, such as the Vietnam War in Southeast Asia also led to reduced population of Javan rhinoceros and hinder recovery. The remaining places are only two protected areas, but the Java rhino still be at risk of being hunted, vulnerable to disease and cause shrinking genetic diversity in breeding disrupted. WWF Indonesia seek to develop a second for Java rhino because in the event of disease or natural disasters such as tsunami, eruption of Krakatau volcano and earthquake, the population would immediately become extinct Javan. In addition, since the invasion Langkap (Arenga) and competition for space with the bull and the source, then the population is increasing urgency to identify safe areas and the relatively near future is the National Park Mist at Mount Salak, West Java, which was once the habitat of the Javan rhinoceros. Java rhino can live for 30-45 years in the wild. These rhinos live in the lowland rain forest, wet meadow and a large flood plain area. Javan Rhino are mostly quiet, except for courtship and child rearing, although a group can sometimes be gathered near the pools and places to get minerals. Adult rhinos have no predators as enemies. Javan Rhino usually avoids humans, but will attack humans if they feel harassed. Researchers and protectors of nature rarely examine the animal directly because of their rarity and the danger of disturbing an endangered species. Researchers used a camera and fecal samples to measure their health and behavior. Javan less studied than other rhinoceros species.
