Authorities believe there are only 82 such rhinos in Indonesian national park where calf was seen.

Javan rhinos once numbered in the thousands across South-east Asia, but have been hard hit by rampant poaching and human encroachment.

The calf, estimated to be between three and five months old, was spotted in footage captured in March by one of 126 camera traps installed in Ujung Kulon National Park on Java island.
