In west java there is special place for animals called Ujung
Kulon.Among the animals in Ujung Kulon are the big rhinos which people
sometimes call ‘Badak Jawa’,other people call them one-horned rhino from Jawa,this
kind of rhino is rare in Indonesia as well as in the world,let’s take a look at
one of them,it’s about 3,5 meters long and weight about 3,500 kilograms.Thick
pieces of very hard skin cover it’s body.It has a short neck,which is why it is
different for a rhino to turn it’s head to either side.It therefore has to turn
it’s whole body.
A rhino has very small eyes and does not see very
well.Instead,it hearing and sense of smell are good,it has a short,hard horn
above it’s nose which it use as a weapon.
The big animal eats leaves,twigs and certain kinds of
grass,it searches for food in the afternoon,after the sun goes down,during the
hot part the day,it plays in the mud turning and rubbing it’s body in the mud
to feel cooler.
The animals always live in very small group,and sometimes
even live alone.This rhino is famous for it’s horn,many hunters kill this
animals for the horn which they sell very high prices,other people make
medicine from rhino’s horn,many rhinos die at hands of these hunters,if this
continues to happen,in another few years we will not be able to find rhinos
anymore.
