Q. Consider the following pairs: Species | Known For |
Javan Rhinoceros | Most endangered large mammal species |
Sumatran Orangutan | Only great ape species found outside Africa |
Mountain Gorilla | Largest primate species |

Answer:
All three pairs
Notes: - Javan Rhinoceros: It is indeed the most endangered large mammal species, with only about 76 individuals remaining in the wild, all in Ujung Kulon National Park, Indonesia.
- Sumatran Orangutan: This species is the only great ape found outside of Africa, residing exclusively on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, and is critically endangered.
- Mountain Gorilla: It is the largest primate species, with males weighing up to 440 pounds, and is also critically endangered, primarily found in the Virunga Mountains of Central Africa.
Thus, all three pairs are correct.
