Sumatran Rhinos

Sumatran Rhinos are listed as, critically endangered
and are now classified as, “functionally extinct”
as they are only seen in zoos, for their genes to be preserved
but the death of two subspecies, makes them so distinct

Sumatran Rhinos used to live, on Borneo and Sumatra islands
and are the smallest, of the living Asian Rhinos
These Rhinos have two horns, very unique to these hinterlands
and their long hair relates them to, the ancient Woolly Rhino

Poaching of Rhino horns, are sold on the black market
for medicine and ornaments, that makes them a big target 
and the biggest markets, are in China and Vietnam
as the greed of money, is a worldwide human scam

Greed of money certainly hurts a lot of animals. Nice reminder in rhyme.
