Evidence found in valley could mean Sumatran rhinos exist in the wild


Play time: Tam, a Sumatran rhino at the Borneo Rhino Sanctuary, remains in good condition and is estimated to be around 30 years old.

KOTA KINABALU: The declaration by scientists that the Sumatran rhino is extinct in Malaysian jungles may have been premature after a footprint was spotted in Sabah’s untouched Danum Valley.

The footprint is believed to be from the animal, giving scientists and conservationists here a glimmer of hope.
