Critically Endangered Javan Rhinos Spotted In The Wild!


Javan Rhino and Baby Calve

Two critically endangered Javan Rhinos have been spotted in the wild.


The two baby Javan Rhino calves were spotted in the Ujung Kulon national park in Indonesia.


One of the Javan Rhino calves is female, and the other calf is a male. The female calf is called Helen, and the male calf is called Luther.


These adorable newborn calves offer hope for these critically endangered animals.


Why This Offers Hope For Javan Rhinos



Ujung Kulon National Park

It offers hope for Javan Rhinos because Javan Rhinos are critically endangered today - they are one of the most endangered animals in the world.


It is estimated that there are now 74 Javan Rhinos in the wild.


Today, Javan Rhinos are so rare, that they are only found within one part of the world. These animals are only found within the Ujung Kulon national park in Indonesia - they are found nowhere else in the wild today.


These rhinos face several threats to their existence.


The threats they face include the illegal wildlife trade and habitat loss.



The birth of these two new Javan Rhinos offers hope to this species because it boosts the Javan Rhinos population.


You can help Rhinos by adopting one with the WWF.
