Endangered Rhino

Apparently there are only 40 Javan rhinos left on the planet and they are susceptible to extinction through the threats of poaching, disease, and natural disasters such as tsunamis or volcanic eruption (they are only found in Indonesia, which makes this a real threat). Because these animals are so rare, it is hard to capture live footage of them, but the World Wildlife Fund set up cameras and actually got footage of a Javan rhino and her calf! If you are interested you should check out the video on their website: Javan Rhino Video
