Sumatran rhinoceroses are believed to be the oldest surviving rhino species - and the closest surviving relative of woolly rhinos, which died off 10 000 years ago. Apart from being the smallest rhino, they're completely covered in hair (shown above), especially the young ones. Their hair is very soft and they also sound like humpback whales when you hear them, making them incredibly cute.
