There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

If Javanese survive they could be one day reintroduced in Sundarbans, both in West Bengal and in East Bengal (called "Bangladesh").
they look very simila, one variation that i immediately notice about them is that Javan rhino's skin fold that covers the scapula and shoulder region goes over and encircles entirely while on Indian rhino the same fold diminishes as it reaches the top here is an example with similarly built animals. 1st one is Javan and 2nd one is Indian

Due to this fold javan looks quite reptilian to me and seems as if it has a gaping cut when it stretches and move its skin
