Yes, the Sumatran rhino ("hairy rhino") does exist, but sadly, it is on the "critically endangered" list. In fact, it is the most endangered rhinoceros species. Poaching has caused the number of Sumatran rhinos to decrease by fifty percent over the last 20 years. Currently fewer than 100 Sumatran rhinos exist on the island of Sumatra, and only 10 animals remain in Malaysia.
