The Sumatran rhino is a critically endangered species, with fewer than 80 individuals remaining. What are your thoughts on the efforts being made to save them?
National Geographic You could impale the poachers kind a like how Vlad Dracula used to do with turks. From what I’ve seen painful executions are pretty good way to stop a crime
The way they bounce excitedly just like dogs do is adorable. :) Wildlife should be saved for its own sake, no matter if it's cute to us or not, or useful to us or not. But I think finding animals cute in a way ties into that duty of care - it's like our way of expressing that. A bit like nature's version of a conservation instinct. I wonder if other animals have a sense of finding things cute? Would be a tricky thing to measure!
This rhino is 1000 times harder to breed in captivity than pandas.. it needs to eat a diet of certain typez of plants for it to get fertile and when a pair meet they fight at first. So it had been difficult to breed them in captivity. Efforts have failed in malaysia and now only sumatra and kalimanta. Are their last strong hold. The Cincinati zoo has sucessfully breed them in captivity. And some other zoos as well.
@@Dantick09 actually no.. there has been many many many failed invitro attemps. They are the hardest to keep the feotus even is using invitro. The issue here, the theory is that they eat specific types of plants to keep themselves from miscaraging. But it is still unknown why invitro fetilization is nearly impossible.
@@bijayalaxmimallick9484 sadly they are being poached by illegal immigrants from indochina for the black market trade.. they are being killed faster than they can reproduce. Even rhinos in zoos are being threatened by poachers. The incident were 2 rhinos were killed in a sanctuary in france. Was a major shock!. In India the goverment took the initiative to shoot poachers on site. And this has shown an increase in the Rhino population !
I just moved to Malaysian Borneo this year, and I was so sad to find out that there are only two rhinos left here. Deforestation for palm oil and poaching have destroyed them all. I really hope they can succeed with their project in Sumatra because things aren't looking good over here 😢
I know this is a little late but I donated to the world wildlife fund (WWF) and you get to choose which animal you can donate to Sumatran rhinos are one of them :)
It is incredible that such a beautiful animal ceases to exist due to the evil of the human being!! We must respect nature, animals and the planet. care love respect do not kill and extinguish!!
My name is Zidan Zaki Rhamadan from Bakti Nusa vacation school i hope sumatran rhino conservation is working well and its population continues to increase
Hope the initiative to breed them will help in rebuilding their numbers. Wouldn't want to add another species that relies only on pictures and videos to see it. Great info, National Geographic.
"They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns." - Psalms 22:18-21
This is why zoos breeding programs are important. Sometimes you can’t just leave wild populations alone if they will be preyed up and driven to extinction
@@user-cl3gz9ey1w While that would help, it still doesn't solve the problem. Regardless of whether or not palm oil is bought, poachers would still hunt the rhinos.
What an amazing ancient animal....truly something from dinosaur's times.....They need safe, well protected environment...we, the people and other governments must make sure there is money to buy enough rainforests, filled with armed army for them, elephants, orangutans, sun-bears and other creatures of those forests....no time to lose!!!....and educate!
The indonesian government should have been protecting this rare species! They have been endangered for the last 30 yrs! That baby was cute as idk what😉👍🏾
Exactly. Leave rare rhinos in captivity where they are safe from hunters. Then destroy poaching marking by confiscating illegal items and replacing ivory with some other product.
Dude they are in national park they are in gunung leuser national park, way kambas national park, bukit Barisan selatan national Park And have you heard Their food source in Ujung Kulon National Park is being taken over by out-of-control the invasive Arenga palm And if you put sumatran rhinos there their food will be all gone

Are the rhinos increasing in population?
Anjoï Limatoc no but the population is stable not increasing but not decreasing
Legalize shooting poachers? Legal or not doesn't stop people but it would give incentive to law abiding citizens.
National Geographic I thought the last 3 Rhinos 🦏 die

How cute that baby rhinos is !
So cute
We agree, it's very adorable! Hopefully the efforts being made to save these creatures are successful.
It's so fluffy!
I just noticed, their feet are much more like a deer or boar's hooves rather than the fleshy pads of the african rhinos
The way they bounce excitedly just like dogs do is adorable. :)

We also killed Harambe so...
It s simple, you inject sperm into the female and there, they reproduce
I hope they produce more offsprings.

Last of wooly rhino's...makes me cry. Protect these amazing beautiful creatures.
Thanks to all of your for helping to preserve these animals. We need to have all the different species. It's amazing.
Indonesian police goverment must protect the animal seriously..
they're too lazy for that. they didn't do much when my friend got hit by a car. they just watch and told people to calm down and call the police
There is special police for jungle in here but not much as i remember
and they don't get paid enough
Riki Shikato . Donate
I wish I could

I Blame Humans for this
So heartfelt! We should boycott palm oil products.
Palm oil owner is a Malaysian and singaporean. Lol
update bro, our (malaysia) last of it has just passed away
Sinnerism la nope, we lost the last male. Now only left Iman the female rhino. 😔
It saddens my heart how we human beings keep endangering very special animal species such as this .. please help and protect them National Geographic

What about palm oil company ?
You can save by don’t buy any product with palm oil
Baby sumatran rhinos are so cute
The Rhinos cub looks so adorable....
About time for a plan
Lets all hope that these beautiful rhinos won’t go extinct for the next decades
too many oil palm trees.....

thank you very much humanity!
I hope to god that the plan works
Poechers is also an endengared specie!!!
I am from INDONESIA
and i like this
gk nanya lu dari mana, norak
And now we have new hope ....
Less than 80 remain....that's a shocking number, more people should be aware of this critically endangered specie
They are Such a Inocent Creature so we humans should never Kill them
I say Rainforest Rhinoceros are extinct, my brother's says: That's sad😔
This is why zoos breeding programs are important. Sometimes you can’t just leave wild populations alone if they will be preyed up and driven to extinction
سبحان الخالق القدار
Hopefully we can save these animals from the brink of extinction!
They really look like dinosaurs
Beautiful
This makes me feel bad! :(

That's a dinosaur! Very cool animal. I would like to see it in action! BREEED THEM!

Poach the poachers! And feed them to other endangered species! :-D
Wow they were Wooly Rhino's at one point in their History.
Where is this video recorded at? Why go back there
That rhino baby is so adorable and people killing them for essentially a toe nail
The last female rhino just died yesterday 😭 .
Its sad, this was 3yrs ago.. it said there's fewer then 80 left. Now. There could be less then 30
Rhino, Elephant, Tiger, and Apes was such a strong creature.... Yet they so fragile
Hope their population increase.
SAVE THEM!!!!
My first time seing this type of rhino, I never knew they existed, 2022
They have family like us, please let them live peacefully
What a tragedy if they were gone........
Save sumatran rhino.
Wow. Red Rhino.
Hewan paling langka di dunia 😢
In 2015, researcher announced that this type of rhino had become extinct in northern part of Borneo(Malaysia). 😢
The indonesian government should have been protecting this rare species! They have been endangered for the last 30 yrs! That baby was cute as idk what😉👍🏾
Unfortunately extinct in india 🇮🇳, but I hope like cheeta they will try to bring it back. They are very cute.
Why cant they just kept in Ujung Kulon National Park like the Javan Rhino?
Exactly. Leave rare rhinos in captivity where they are safe from hunters. Then destroy poaching marking by confiscating illegal items and replacing ivory with some other product.
Diffrent habitat. Let them stay in their habitat.
Dude they are in national park they are in gunung leuser national park, way kambas national park, bukit Barisan selatan national Park
And have you heard Their food source in Ujung Kulon National Park is being taken over by out-of-control the invasive Arenga palm
And if you put sumatran rhinos there their food will be all gone
💖💖💖
Just in, they are now extinct in Malaysia! pftt 12-17-2019
wow
Another one bites the dust...
We Won't Give up on the Sumatran Rhinoceros Without a fight
Rip Iman
How can you get close to them like this?
