AI overview
The Javan rhinoceros is a large mammal species found in Southeast Asia that is one of the world's rarest animals, with only a handful of individuals remaining in the wild. It matters because its near extinction represents a critical loss of biodiversity and serves as a stark example of how human activities can push species to the brink of disappearing forever.

Species
Critically EndangeredObservations: In the wild, these animals are estimated to live up to 40 years (Bernhard Grzimek 1990). They have lived over 20 years in captivity (Richard Weigl 2005), but because only a few animals remain little is known about their longevity.

Javanoshörning (Rhinoceros sondaicus) lever främst i nationalparken Ujung Kulon på ön Java i Indonesien. Denna art av noshörningar har noshorn men saknar pannhorn. Det vetenskapliga namnet har samma betydelse som det svenska namnet. Släktnamnet är sammansatt av de grekiska orden rhino (nos) och ceros (horn). Artepitet sondaicus syftar på Sundaöarna där Java ingår.
