Conservation
Sumatran Rhino
|
| There is no strong evidence supporting more than one conservation unit for Sumatran rhino. Chromosomal conservation and degree of sequence divergence make outbreeding depression an unlikely outcome if individuals, or their gametes, are translocated as part of a conservation management plan. |

Sumatran Rhino
|
| Ten browses consumed by Sumatran rhinos in Malaysia contained less cellulose (14 to 23% of DM), but even higher lignin levels (8 to 24%) than black rhino browses, suggesting that south-east Asian forages may be less digestible than African browses. Total cell wall (NDF) averaged 50%; ADF, 27%. C... |
