Caption

The Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) was widely distributed in eastern China in historical times, but was extirpated due to increasing human pressure -- and process that has continued to the present day in its remaining range in southeast Asia, threatening to cause the complete extinction of this species, with likely less than 80 individuals surviving, all in Indonesia.
