Orang-utans in Sumatra

Note
Location Sumatra Subject Distribution Species Sumatran Rhino (sumatrensis)

Survey North Sumatra. Dicerorhinus sumatrensis. In 1970, Fred Kurt found rhino tracks near Lau Djohar, but villagers say that no rhinos have visited the area since. I found no traces anywhere, although twice during my stay villagers reported seeing rhino beside the Alas river north of Kutatjane, and Dr Herman Rijksen has found tracks there.
