the folds in their skin give Asian rhinos a more armoured look than their counterparts in Africa. The greater Javan rhino have one horn, while the Sumatran rhino has two. Despite their hefty appearance, Asian rhinos are excellent swimmers.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: There are three Asian rhino species, all of which have been pushed to the brink of extinction. The greater one-horned is slowly recovering thanks to years of succesful conservation efforts but the Sumatran and Javan rhinos remain at great risk. Having once roamed across most of Asia, they’re now found in the wild in just four countries - India, Nepal, Bhutan and Indonesia. Poaching for their horns and habitat loss are the two greatest threats to the survival of Asia's remaining rhinos.
