Another rare Javan rhino calf spotted at Indonesia park
"A new Javan rhino calf has been spotted in an Indonesian national park, the facility’s head said yesterday, further boosting hopes for one of the world’s most endangered mammals after two other sightings this year.
The female calf, believed to be between three and five months old, was spotted in camera trap footage taken in May at Java’s Ujung Kulon National Park, a find only made public on Thursday by Indonesia’s Environment and Forestry Ministry.
[T]wo more calves were spotted earlier this year at the park, which is the only habitat left for the critically endangered animal.
After years of population decline, authorities believe there are 82 Javan rhinos left inside the 120,000-hectare sanctuary of lush rainforest and freshwater streams."
