Sumatran rhino sighted in Indonesian Borneo for first time in 40 years

Conservationists have made the first physical contact in over four decades with a Sumatran rhino in Indonesian Borneo.

The smallest of the three Asian rhino species, hairy rhino numbers have plummeted to fewer than 100 on Earth due to hunting and habitat loss, with the last wild populations in Kalimantan, Borneo, and the island of Sumatra.

It sucks that she has to be moved due to the threat of poaching. People really suck sometimes.
