Rare and Tiny Javanese Rhinos Captured on Film

By Alex in Animals & Pets, Video Clips on Jun 6, 2008 at 2:08 pm

A specially designed video camera installed in the jungles of Indonesia captured the rare (and tiny!) Javanese Rhino momma and her calf … right before she attacked it!

After just a month in operation, specially designed video cameras installed to capture wildlife footage in the jungles of South East Asia have twice recorded remarkable images of a mother and child pair of the world’s rarest rhino.

But the success was not without incident as after a short inspection, the rhino mother charged the camera installation in Ujung Kulon National Park and sent it flying.

    After A MONTH? I can’t believe how committed wildlife photographers and the like are. The behind-the-scenes parts of the BBC/Discovery documentary “Planet Earth” were just incredible. It would sure be cool to take a one-year sabbatical and be a wildlife photographer.

    I’ve seen one on discovery. Its extremely hard to catch this species on film.

    See, even rhinos hate the paparazzi!

    Seriously though, it’s great to see these animals are still breeding considering how hard we make it for wildlife these day.

    Well, it looks like they have a healthy amount of fear of humans which is a good thing for surviving. :)
