KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - A Sumatran rhino has been filmed eating, walking and sniffing at a camera in the jungles of Borneo, giving a privileged glimpse into the endangered animal's behavior, conservationists said Tuesday.
The World Wildlife Fund said in a statement that the two-minute clip taken with a special video camera set up in the rain forest of Malaysia's Sabah state was "the first-ever footage of observing the behavior in the wild of one of the world's rarest rhinos."
However, SOS Rhino, a Chicago-based wildlife foundation, said in September last year that wildlife rangers on one of its expeditions had taken a video clip and photos of a single male Sumatran rhino, also in Sabah, after a decade-long search.
