Ujung Kulon National Park (TNUK) employees discovered four baby rhinoceroses during a routine census in Pandeglang, Banten, West Java, earlier this month, tempointeraktif.com reported Tuesday.

"Finding these baby rhinos proves they're still procreating and regeneration is ongoing," TNUK head Agus Primabudi said.

He added the four varied in size. The smallest baby had hind feet measuring at 17 and 18 centimeters in diameter; the largest baby's feet measured 23 and 24 centimeters.

TNUK reported they had recorded a total of 50 rhinoceroses in the park in 2008. (amr)
