providing what scientists call “good news” for the critically endangered animal. </span> <span data-start-time='12375' data-end-time='18417'>Experts say fewer than 100 of them remain in existence.</span> <span data-start-time='18417' data-end-time='32854'>Researchers report that the two wild rhino populations on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra showed unexpectedly good genetic health in a new study. </span> <span data-start-time='32854' data-end-time='38667'>The study also showed surprisingly low levels of inbreeding.</span> <span data-start-time='38667' data-end-time='45625'>Inbreeding is the result of producing young from closely related parents.</span> <span data-start-time='45625' data-end-time='55063'>The Sumatran rhinoceros is known for its two small horns and a thin coat of reddish-brown hair.</span> <span data-start-time='55063' data-end-time='62729'>It is the closest living relative to the wooly rhinoceros of the last Ice Age.</span> <span data-start-time='62729' data-end-time='69750'>Nicolas Dussex helped lead the study that was published in Nature Communications.</span> <span data-start-time='69750' data-end-time='77583'>With such small population sizes, we were expecting much higher inbreeding, he said.</span> <span data-start-time='77583' data-end-time='87271'>Dussex added that the findings suggest there may still be time to save the genetic diversity of the animal.</span> <span data-start-time='87271' data-end-time='99979'>Researchers studied the genomes of seven rhinos from Borneo, eight from Sumatra and six from the former Malay Peninsula population.</span> <span data-start-time='99979' data-end-time='111688'>The Sumatran rhinoceros is the smallest of the world's five rhinoceros species, weighing around 700 to 800 kilograms. </span> <span data-start-time='111688' data-end-time='115688'>The animal lives in rainforest areas. </span> <span data-start-time='115688' data-end-time='121646'>It also lives alone, except when mating and raising young. </span> <span data-start-time='121646' data-end-time='131729'>The animals once lived across a wide area of Southeast Asia, from the Himalayas to Borneo and Sumatra.</span> <span data-start-time='131729' data-end-time='139854'>Illegal hunting, or poaching, and environmental destruction have hurt its population. </span> <span data-start-time='139854' data-end-time='148667'>The Sumatran rhinoceros population fell by about 70 percent over the past two decades.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div
