Typical animals of each province in Indonesia



BADAK JAWA (Rhinoceros sondaicus) BANTEN
Javan rhino or a small - horned Rhinoceros ( Rhinoceros sondaicus ) is Rhinocerotidae family members and one of five extant rhinoceroses . The Rhinos went into the same genus with the Indian rhinoceros and have skin that resemble armor bermosaik . The rhino has a length of 3.1 to 3.2 m and height of 1.4 to 1.7 m . 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 . This rhino rhino was once one of Asia's most widely spread . Although called " Javan Rhino " , is not limited to animals living on the island of Java alone , but throughout the country , throughout Southeast Asia and in India as well as China . 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 . Rhino population decline is also due to habitat loss , which is mainly caused by the war , like the Vietnam War in Southeast Asia also led to a reduction Javan rhino population and hinder recovery . Place remaining only be in two protected areas , but the Javan Rhino is still at the risk of being hunted , susceptible to disease and causes shrinking of genetic diversity in breeding disturbed . WWF Indonesia seek to develop both the Java rhino because in the event of disease or natural disasters such as tsunamis , volcanic eruptions and earthquakes Krakatoa , Java rhino population would instantly become extinct . In addition , because of the invasion of steps ( Arenga ) and competition with bull for space and resources , the population is increasingly pressured . The area identified is a safe and relatively close Hazy National Park on Mount Salak , West Java, which was once the habitat of the Javan rhinoceros .There are three subspecies , the only two extant subspecies , while a subspecies have become extinct :· Rhinoceros sondaicus sondaicus , the type subspecies known as the Indonesian Javan rhinoceros ' who once lived on the island of Java and Sumatra . Now the population is only around 40-50 in Ujung Kulon National Park is located at the western end of the island of Java . The researchers propose that the Javan rhino in Sumatra belonged to a different subspecies , Rs floweri , but this is not widely accepted .· Rhinoceros sondaicus annamiticus , known as the Vietnamese Javan Rhinoceros or Vietnamese , who have lived in throughout Vietnam , Cambodia , Laos , Thailand and Malaysia . Annamiticus derived from the Annamite Mountain Range in South East Asia , parts of this subspecies . Today the population is estimated at less than 12 , living in lowland forest in Cat Tien National Park , Vietnam . Genetic analysis suggests that the two extant subspecies shared a common ancestor between 300,000 and 2 million years ago .· Rhinoceros sondaicus inermis , known as the Indian Javan Rhino , lived in Bengal through Burma ( Myanmar ) , but it was considered extinct in the early decades of the 1900s . Inermis means unarmed , because of the characteristics of this rhino is small horns in males , and no horns in females . Specimens of this species is that females do not have horns . The political situation in Burma estimated prevent this species in the state , but the safety is considered unreliable .


Komodo (Varanus komodoensis) East Nusa Tenggara

Komodo or more so-called Komodo dragons ( Varanus komodoensis ) , is the world's largest lizard species that live on the islands of Komodo , Rinca , Flores , Gili Mota , and Gili Dasami in Nusa Tenggara . This lizard by the natives of Komodo island is also called by local names ora . Including members of the lizard family Varanidae , and klad Toxicofera , dragons are the largest lizards in the world , with an average length of 2-3 m . Large size is associated with symptoms of island gigantism , the tendency for body meraksasanya certain animals that live in small island linked to the absence of mammalian carnivores on the island where dragons live , and the rate of metabolism of small dragons . Because of his body , these lizards occupy the position of a top predator that dominate the ecosystems in which they live . Komodo discovered by western researchers in 1910. Her body is great and terrible reputation makes them popular zoo . Dragons in the wild habitat has been shrinking due to human activity and therefore incorporate dragons IUCN as a species vulnerable to extinction . This large lizard is now protected under Indonesian law and a national park , namely Komodo National Park , established to protect them . In the wild , an adult Komodo dragon usually weighs around 70 kg , but the dragons are kept in captivity often have a greater body weight . Wild specimens largest ever has a length of 3.13 m and weighing about 166 kg , including the weight of undigested food in the stomach . Although listed as the largest lizard the Komodo dragon is still alive , but not the longest . This reputation held by Papua lizard ( Varanus salvadorii ) . Komodo has the same tail length with his body , and about 60 pieces of sharp serrated teeth along approximately 2.5 cm which is often replaced . Saliva is frequently blood-tinged, because its teeth are almost completely covered by gingival tissue and the tissue is naturally lacerated during feeding . This creates an ideal culture for the virulent bacteria that live in their mouths . Komodo has a long tongue , yellow and forked . Komodo dragons males larger than females , with skin color from dark gray to brick red , while the female is more colorful dragons green olives and has a small piece of yellow at the throat . Young Komodo dragons more colorful , with yellow , green and white on a black background . Komodo does not have the sense of hearing , despite having ear holes . This lizard is able to see as far as 300 m , but because the retina contains only cones , this animal is probably not so well seen in the darkness of night . Komodo is able to distinguish colors , but are not able to distinguish how stationary objects . Komodo uses its tongue to detect taste and smell stimuli , like other reptiles , with the vomeronasal sense using a Jacobson's organ , a sense that aids navigation in the dark . With the help of the wind , and his habit of cocking his head to the right and to the left when walking , dragons can detect the presence of carrion as far as 4 to 9.5 km . Dragons nostrils olfaction is not a good tool because they do not have a diaphragm . These animals have no sense of taste in the tongue , there are few nerve endings of taste in the back of the throat . Dragons scales , some of which are reinforced with bone , have sensory plaques connected to nerves that facilitate its sense of touch . The scales around the ears , lips , chin , and soles of the feet may have three or more sensory plaques . Komodo dragons were thought to be deaf when a study reported that whisper , raised voices and shouting did not result in agitation ( interference ) in the wild dragons . This was disputed when London Zoological Garden employee Joan Proctor trained lizards to eat out with his voice , even when she could not be seen by the lizards . Komodo naturally only found in Indonesia , on the island of Komodo , Flores and Rinca and several other islands in Nusa Tenggara . Live in dry open grassland , savanna and tropical forest at low altitudes , this lizard likes hot and dry place . They are active during the day , although sometimes also active at night . Komodo dragons are largely solitary, coming together only to breed and eat . Large reptiles can scoot to 20 miles per hour in short distances swim very well and can dive as deep as 4.5 m and clever to 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 . With increasing age , the Komodo dragon claws are used primarily as a weapon , because of its large size makes climbing impractical . For shelter , dragons dig holes 1-3 m wide with the front legs and strong claws . Because of his body and the habit of sleeping in a hole , dragons can conserve body heat throughout the night and reduces the time sunbathe on the next morning . Komodo generally hunt at noon until late afternoon , but remained in the shade during the hottest part of the day . Dragons hiding places are usually located in the dunes or hills with the sea breeze , open from vegetation , and here and there were scattered droppings . This place is generally also a strategic location to ambush deer . In late 2005 , researchers from the University of Melbourne , Australia , concluded that Perentie lizard ( Varanus giganteus ) and other lizard - lizard , and the lizards from the tribe Agamidae , the possibility of having some sort of can . It was known that the wounds caused by bites of these animals are very prone to infection because of the bacteria that live in the mouth of these lizards , but the researchers showed that the direct effect that appears at the bite wounds can be caused by the inclusion of a magnitude medium . These researchers have observed the wounds in the hands of humans from lizard Varanus varius bite , V. scalaris and dragons , and all of them showed a similar reaction : rapid swelling within minutes , localized disruption of blood clotting , pain gripping up to the elbow , with some symptoms that last up to several hours later . A gland that can contain highly toxic has been successfully retrieved from the mouth of a Komodo dragon at the Singapore Zoo , and convince the researchers will be content that belongs to the dragons . In addition it contains can , dragons saliva also has a variety of deadly bacteria in it more than 28 Gram- negative and Gram - positive 29 have been isolated from the saliva . These bacteria cause septicemia in their victim . If the dragons bite does not directly kill the prey and the prey can escape , generally hapless prey will die within a week of infection. The most deadly bacteria in Komodo dragon saliva appears bacterium Pasteurella multocida is a very deadly ; known through experiments with laboratory rats . Because dragons seem to be immune to its own microbes , much research was done to find antibacterial molecules in the hope it can be used for human treatment .
