The animals in Indonesia Endangered

The animals in Indonesia Endangered

1. Sumatran Orangutan
Sumatran orangutans live and endemic to Sumatra, an island located in Indonesia. Sumatran orangutans also rather dwell in trees, this may be due to predators like the Sumatran tiger. They move from tree to tree using a swinging arm.
It is estimated there are about 7,300 Sumatran orangutans still live in the wild. Some of them are protected in five areas in Gunung Leuser National Park and other areas that do not live in protected: Aceh blocks northwest and northeast, West Batang Toru river, East and Sidiangkat Sarulla. Breeding program has been made in the Thirty Hill National Park in Jambi and Riau provinces and generate a new population of Sumatran orangutans.

2. Sumatran tiger
Sumatran tiger is found only on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. Recent genetic testing has revealed the genetic markers unique, indicating that this subspecies may evolve into separate species, if managed sustainably.
Sumatran tigers are the smallest tiger subspecies. Sumatran tiger has the darkest color among all other tiger subspecies, the black pattern width and the distance is sometimes tightly attached. Sumatran tiger stripes are thinner than other tiger subspecies. This subspecies also had more beard and mane than other subspecies, especially the male tiger. Its small size makes it easier to explore the jungle. There is a membrane in between her fingers yangmenjadikan they are able to swim fast.
Wild population is estimated between 400-500, mainly living in national parks in Sumatra. Destruction of habitat is the greatest threat to the population at this time. Logging still takes place even in the supposedly protected national parks. Recorded 66 tigers were killed between 1998 and 2000.

3. Javan Rhino
Javan rhino is Rhinocerotidae family members and one of five extant rhinoceroses. This rhino into the same genus with Indian rhino and have skin that resembles armor bermosaik. The rhino is smaller than the Indian rhinoceros and closer to the body with a large Black rhino. Horn size is usually less than 20 cm, smaller than the other horn rhino species.
Javan rhinos are mostly quiet, except for courtship and rearing children, even though a group can sometimes congregate near pools and places to get minerals. Javan Rhino usually avoids humans, but will attack if it feels threatened.
The species is now critically endangered, with only two known populations in the wild, and none in zoos. This rhino is probably the rarest mammals on earth. Population 40-50 rhinos live in Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia. Javan rhino population in the wild the other is in the Cat Tien National Park, Vietnam with an estimated population of no more than eight in 2007. Javan rhino population decline due to poaching for its horn taken, which is very valuable in traditional Chinese medicine, with a price of $ 30,000 per kilogram on the black market.

4. Anoa, cow forests of Sumatra
Sulawesi anoa is a typical animal. There are two species of anoa: Mountain Anoa (Bubalus quarlesi) and the Lowland Anoa (Bubalus depressicornis). Both live in the forest that are not touched by humans. Their appearance is similar to deer and weighs 150-300 kg. Anoa child will be born once a year.
Anoa Mountains also known as the Mountain Anoa, Anoa de Montana, de Quarle Anoa, Anoa des Montagnes, and Quarle's Anoa. Whereas the Lowland Anoa is also known as Lowland Anoa, Anoa de Ilanura, or Anoa des Plaines.
Both of these species can be found in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Since the 1960s is in endangered status. It is estimated there are currently fewer than 5,000 surviving tail. Anoa often hunted for fur, horns and meat.

5. Sumatran forest goat
Sumatra is a type of wild goat antelope found only in the tropical forests of Sumatra. This is the hallmark of a horned goat slim, short and curved backwards. Weight between 50-140 kg, body length 140-180 cm. nearly two meters, large enough in comparison with the size of ordinary goat. When adult height between 85-94 cm.
Existence in the wild is now very step and concern. Recent reports in the world says that the goat is still visible in the Sumatran forests of Sumatra mountain plateau in 1997. No significant reports about the goat after that year, probably due to rampant logging and illegal logging Indonesia, and the lack of seriousness of the government to protect the animals move.
Zoos the world that has a collection of this species is very proud, because many zoos in Indonesia itself does not have it.

6. Komodo
Komodo dragons are the world's largest lizard species that live on the islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Mota, and Gili Dasami in Nusa Tenggara.
Komodo dragons can only be found in Indonesia, on the island of Komodo, Flores and Rinca and several other islands in Nusa Tenggara. Live in open dry grasslands, savannas and tropical forests at low altitudes. Komodo dragons are largely solitary, coming together only to breed and eat. Large reptiles can sprint up to 20 miles per hour in short distances, swim very well and can dive as deep as 4.5 meters, as well as clever climb trees using their powerful claws. To catch prey that is out of reach, the Komodo dragon may stand on its hind legs and use its tail as a support.
Approximately 4,000-5,000 estimated dragons still live in the wild. Populations are restricted to the islands of Rinca (1,300), Gili Mota (100), Gili Dasami (100), Komodo (1,700), and Flores (perhaps 2,000). However, there are concerns regarding the population as estimated from it all only 350 females are productive and able to breed. In 1980 the Government of Indonesia has set the establishment of the National Park to protect the Komodo dragon populations and ecosystems on islands including Komodo, Rinca, and Padar.

7. Babirusa
Babirusa there are only around Sulawesi Island Togian, Malenge, Sula, Buru and Maluku. Babirusa habitats are found in tropical rain forests. This animal likes to gobble fruits and plants, such as mango, mushrooms and leaves. They only hunt for food at night to avoid some of the wild animals that often attack. Even though they are loners, they generally live in groups with a stud as the most powerful leader.
These shy animals can be ferocious when disturbed. Long fangs sticking up, useful to protect his eyes from rattan thorns. Babirusa females give birth to one to two-tailed one delivery. Pregnancy ranged from 125 to 150 days. The baby will be breastfed babirusa for one month, after which it will seek its own food in the forest free. During the year babirusa females give birth only once. Babirusa a mature age five to 10 months, and can last up to 24 years of age.
They are often hunted for prey locals or intentionally killed because of destruction of agricultural land and plantations. Animal populations that also prey on the larvae are growing slightly up on the list of protected animals. Their number is estimated at 4000 tail and only found in Indonesia.

8. Proboscis
Spread and endemic proboscis monkey in the mangrove forest, swamp and coastal forests on the island of Borneo. This species spends most of his time in the trees and live in groups numbering between 10 to 32 monkeys. Proboscis Monkey can also swim well.
The main characteristics that distinguish from other apes proboscis is long and large nose that is only found in the male species. Function of the proboscis of the nose is to attract the attention of female monkeys, because monkeys females prefer males with large noses as a partner.
Based on the loss of forest habitat and illegal arrests continue, and a very limited habitat area and population, proboscis monkeys evaluated as Endangered on the IUCN Red List

So little of this writing.
