The sumatran rhino species has been quickly declining to a near extinction. Back in their prime they roamed Southeast Asia. They are also known for making high pitched noises and are the smallest species of rhino which just makes them incredibly cute. They are also one of the few species of rhinos who have hair and are soft. Surprisingly they are the closest surviving relative of woolly rhinos which died off thousands of years ago. The species has already gone extinct in Malaysia and less than a 100 still survive in Indonesia. They have been declining because of poaching. Their horns are very valuable and are even used to symbolize trophies. There also has been a lot of habitat loss causing the species to separate. Because of the separation, Rhinos seldom met and rarely bred. I think this issue is important because the decline of the rhino species also means the decline of other species such as tigers, orangoutang, and elephants. Not to mention, they are incredibly cute. |
