Badak

Badak krbo

Badak tingiling

The animal lives in the deep forests from which emerges in the early morning and before sunset. The rest of the day, especially during the hot parts, it lies in a hidden wallow which it visits regularly.

The rhinoceros lives alone or at most as a pair.

The Malay on Sumatra differentiate two species, one the Badak krbo is larger and rather quiet and inoffensive, and the smaller Badak tenggiling, which is quite aggressive and always attacks men.
