Although it will take 4 - 5 months to confirm the results, researchers are optimistic that Ratu's current status may somehow reassure the Indonesian government when it is very safe in Sumatra Rhinoceros Reserve (SRS) belongs to Way Kambas National Park (Indonesia).

Before the new perspective, Susie Ellis, executive director of the World Rhino Conservation Organization (IRF), said: 'We all cherish the belief and everything will go well and rhino Ratu will produce a healthy baby rhino at the end of spring or as early as early this summer. '

She did not forget to affirm: 'This is really a great collaborative effort, not only for the protection of a particular female rhino who is pregnant but also throughout the effort to preserve the individual last Sumatra sensation left in Indonesian territory '.
