The rare footage of the world’s more rarest rhino have been captured by the hidden cameras in the Jungles of Indonesia’s Java island. This rare rhino is inhabitated only in two places in the world viz. 50 of them in the Ujung Kulon National Park in Java and eight of them in Cat Tien National Park in Vietnam.

Specially designed video cameras have been installed in Ujung Kulon to capture the pictures of these rare rhinos. Fortunately the team led by the campaign group WWF able to capture the footage of these rare Javan rhinos at the cost of the expensive cameras. The mother rhino became a little overexcited and charged the camera, sending it flying.

Adhi Rachmat Hariyadi, who leads WWF-Indonesia’s project is very much excited to note the presence of this rarest rhino in their project area. The footage is a big boon in wild life conservation to save the species. Hariyadi told that this footage gives new information on the rhinos’ health as well as vital insights into their breeding habits.
