Sumatran Rhino (sumatrensis)
Witkamp remarked that the rhinoceros does not occur south of the Mahakam River. While surveying the area between Balikpapan and Samarinda, I did not only see many old and new tracks of the rhinoceros, I even saw an individual. The footprints had a diameter of over 20 cm. I saw the animal in a wallow about 30 km south of the Mahakam, in the source area of the Soengai Kembodja and the Soengai Nangka, which again is 30 km from the coast.
