To true, made all the more real for me recently by having an opportunity to visit and film the last known male Sumatran Rhino known to exist in Malaysia  (Sabah on the Island of Borneo).  Unfortunately this animal has since died, that leaves Malaysia with one known Rhino of this species, an elderly Female.  There are probably less than 10 wild ones left in the Indonesian provinces of Borneo, plus a few more in Sumatra.

Those interested can see my film here  https://vimeo.com/332109875
