  2. Environment • A Javan Rhino’s environment is a tropical forest. • They are originally from Southeast Asia. • They mostly eat leaves, young shoots, twigs, and fruit. • Living in the forest protects them from the sun • It is essential for the rhinos to wallow in mud holes, the mud helps them with thermoregulation, their skin condition, the removal of parasites, and biting insects. • They occasionally drink salt water.
