Tiergeographie auf Oekologischer Grundlage

On Java, the forests at 1500 to 3000 m altitude are no longer as dense and dark as those lower on themountains. The rhinoceros lives primarily here, although it is still present in lower and especially higher altitudes.

Cooling of the body during the hot season is often done through water, as in the buffalo, waterbuck, rhinoceros and hippopotamus.
