Sumatran Rhino vanishes from Malaysian jungles


Sumatran Rhinos Tam and Puntung, pictured here at the Borneo Rhino Sanctuary, are among the last surviving specimens of their species in the country.

PETALING JAYA: The Sumatran rhino is now extinct from Malaysia's jungles, a group of scientists has found.

In a report under the international-based journal Oryx, they wrote that other than two rhinos caught in 2011 and 2014, there had been no more signs of the animal in the wild here - even after years of searching.
