Day 8 'Threatened, Endangered, Extinct'
The Javan rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) are one of the five remaining extant rhinoceros species across South Asia and Africa. The Javan rhinoceros is one of the smallest rhinoceros species. Today, it is the rarest of all rhinoceros and among the rarest of all living animal species, with only one currently known wild population, and no individuals successfully kept in captivity. The decline of the Javan rhinoceros is primarily attributed to poaching for the males' horns, which—despite merely being composed of keratin and also loss of habitat.
