Abstract
This is the first account on observations made on one of the rarest mammal i.e. female Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) that was captured on 30th April 1984 in Jeram Selangor. The animal was then brought to Zoo Air Keroh Malacca and has been kept there ever since in a temporary enclosure. This rhino is the only captive specimen anywhere in the world. The paper describes the animal and the preliminary observations made of the animal's eating habits, bahaviour and notes on the presence of parasites. The rhino has since been named Jeram.
