Sumatra and Borneo have lots of rhinos. Try to be more complete in your posts.

OP was talking about Javan rhinos. Sumatran rhinos are not Javan rhinos.

r/confidently incorrect

There are 5 species of rhinos, 2 native to Africa and 3 native to Southeast Asia. The Javan rhino is a different species than the Sumatran rhino. Here's a link if you don't believe me.

Most all of the world's rhinos are in Indonesia. Sumatra bornea (few #'s), the SE asian population are too few to propagate.

african population rapidly dying out as rhino horns believed by too many to be as good as Viagra. I don't think you really have a full picture of the rhinos going rapidly into extinction from human pressures. The current small herds are the last, outside of zoos, and those fail due to inbreeding.

Are you embarrassed to admit your mistake or are you just stupid? OP talked about Javan rhinos, to which you basically said "bro, there's more than 70 of them" and linked to an article about Sumatran rhinos, an entirely separate species, as if they were being stupid.
