An expedition in 1893-94 to the upper Kapuas, West Kalimantan, found hunters active and no sign of rhino.
Both rhinos are browsers, feeding on a mix of foliage and fruit, particularly of plants associated with disturbed forest or secondary vegetation, like Macaranga sp., Mallotus sp., Artocarpus sp. and figs.
The skin bears a surface pattern of mosaic like roughened thickenings and is folded into stiff, permanent creases. Three such folds cross the back, one before and one behind the shoulders and one over the rump.
In Peninsular Malaysia, Rhinoceros sondaicus has proved most susceptible to modern pressures, having last been recorded in the 1930s.
An expedition was mounted to shoot the last Rhinoceros sondaicus for museum specimens in 1932, supported by the Game department.
The present predicament of both rhinos in SE Asia is chiefly attributable to the high value attached to their horns, in particular, other bodily organs and even blood.
They are normally solitary.
They are normally sedentary but not territorial, in so far as the home ranges of individuals may overlap.
Densities in primary forest tracts as Endau-Rompin vary from one Sumatran rhino per 40 km? to one per 120 km?
The skin folds are reduced and only two cross the spine, one over the fore-parts and one over the rump. The surface texture of the skin is granular.
Archeology has shown that the Javan rhinoceros has disappeared from Borneo since about 12,000 years ago, evidently from natural causes.

The trade in rhino horn and other parts is ancient. The effects were already noticeable by the 19 th century and became acute in the 20 th. In Borneo, a scientific expedition in 1894-94 to the upper kapuas found hunters active and no sign of rhino.
The skin bears a surface pattern of mosaic like roughened thickenings and is folded into stiff, permanent creases. Three such folds cross the back, one before and one behind the shoulders and one over the rump.
They deposit their dung at fixed points where large piles of their nodular droppings accumulate.
They make wallows in muddy ground and frequent mineral springs.
