Ratu (whose name means "queen") originally made her home near one of the borders of Way Kambas National Park, where she came into contact with local people who had built a village in the same area. Because of her dark coloration, villagers mistook Ratu for a large pig and tried to kill her, but luckily she ran away and escaped harm. A team of rangers, keepers and veterinarians was dispatched to find and protect Ratu, and to guide her safely to the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary where she could experience a natural habitat while remaining safe from humans. When she first arrived at the sanctuary, Ratu was still traumatized from the stress of her encounter with the local villagers and her trip back to the park. She did not eat well and exhibited difficulties walking on her left hind leg after all the running she had done. After several weeks though, Ratu was as good as new. She began consuming large amounts of vegetation on her own, her leg healed, and she walked normally again. Ratu is now a very healthy and well-adjusted rhino, although at only 1,180 pounds, she is the smallest rhino at the sanctuary.
