Raw video of rhino charge

JAKARTA, Indonesia - The world's rarest rhino does not like the limelight.

The WWF says a Javan rhino was captured on video attacking a camera set up in an Indonesian jungle to study the animal's habits.

Experts say the rhino may have sensed the lens was a threat to her calf.

There are about 70 Javan rhinos in the wild, about 60 of which live in Ujung Kulon National Park on the western tip of Java island.

The remainder live in Vietnam.

In the first month of operation, five infrared video traps have captured two images of the camera-shy mother and calf, says a spokesman for the environmental group.
