What are the habitat of the sumatran rhino?
The Indonesian island of Sumatra.
There are 5 species of Rhinoceros, each living in a different area:
- The White Rhinoceros - These are normally found in one of five countries, all in Africa, South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Kenya and Uganda.
- The Black Rhinoceros - These animals are one the brink of extinction, although they could once be found across the Savannah in western Africa.
- The Indian Rhinoceros - This creature once roamed areas of Pakistan, Burma and Bangladesh and may have even been seen in China. Now however, due to declining numbers, they can only be found in small populations in north-east India and areas of Nepal.
- The Javan Rhinoceros - This is the rarest of all mammals, not just in the Rhino families, but right across the animal kingdom. There are thought to be just 30 or 40 animals left in the wild and these are confined to very small areas. They could once be found right across Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and into Thailand and Malaysia. Now however they are fond in two small areas. A population of about 14 animals lives in an area of lowland forest in the Cat Tien National Park in Vietnam, and about 30 animals in the Ujung Kulon National Park on the western tip of the island of Java.
The Sumatran Rhinoceros - This Rhino is also endangered and when it once roamed large areas of Malaysia, but now are confined to small areas in Burma, Bangladesh and easterType your answer here...
Can you breed a hippo and a rhino?

Rhinos eat with there rough mouth. Then grabs the grass with their powerful jaw and then yanks it out the ground.
Yes, the Rhino is endangered. Four out of the five species of rhinoceros are considered threatened with extinction: the Javan rhino (no more than 48 left), Sumatran (200 left), Indian or greater one horned (2,800 left) and black rhino (about 4,200 left). The white rhino has made a stunning recovery from fewer than 200 animals in the early 1900's to more than 18,000 today, thanks in large part to the concerted efforts of conservationists and local governments. See the site listed below for the most up-to-date information.
How many bones does a Rhinoceros have?
Most sources claim that the African rhinoceros has 194 bones. The horn on the head is not made of bone. It is made of the same material as fingernails.

I don't know if its technically a "rain forest" but in some parts of Africa there are blotches of forest and rhinos can use them for nesting and cover ect. But if I had to choose, most likely not.

Are rhinos the same family as horses and are there inspired the myth of the unicorn?
I'm not entirely sure what the question here is, but the rhino and the horse are in the same order, Perissodactyla, but not in the same family. And yes, that is one theory on the myth of the unicorn.
Why did the Indian Rhinoceros become endangered?
Actually if you come to see Indian rhinos become extinct because their horns are very useful to human kind . In India as per our teachers have told us we use it for some kind of instrument . I also know that some poachers kill the rhinos due to the great worth of their horns!
What were early horns used for?
The horn in animals that have horns is used for defense and for mating rights (i.e., the larger the horns on a buffalo, the more likely he is to mate with a harem of buffalo cows).
The horn on a vehicle is to alert pedestrians or other drivers that you, the driver, are there, or as an alarm system.
A horn (also called the French Horn) is also a musical instrument that is used to accompany an orchestra or wind ensemble in a musical piece that requires a horn to be played.
What did a woolly rhinoceros eat?
There is controversy over what they actually ate. But research had found the browsing and grazing are both plausible. Probably grasses, and branches from different trees. My guess would be a diet like todays modern Rhinoceros's eat.
How far away can a rhinoceros smell?
Through a dollar bill, obviously, along with my other brothers from the hood.

How many babies can a javan rhino have at once?
A female rhinoceros will give birth to one calf, after a gestation period of 16 months . Female rhinoceros only produce every two and half to five years. The calf will stay with the mother or other young calves for about three years before living on its own.
That would be real unlikely, because they are usually found on different continents, so they wouldn't have much chance to meet.
If they did meet, and did decide to fight (which would be strange in itself as herbivores just about never fight with other species of herbivores), the rhino would probably win as it's about double the weight of a bison.
Pretty sharp, though the real danger is the biting power of the jaw that allows them to break bones.
Usually they're just shot by poachers using surplus military assault rifles. Or they can be shot using regular, high-powered hunting rifles, but assault rifles are more common. Some are snared first, and may either die from the snare, or get shot when poachers return to the snared animal.
