Origin of the name of the place
According to folklore, Kubang Badak's name is derived from a creature resembling and powerful rhino that protects the village from harm. it may well have been a confusion long time ago because a wallowing buffalo was probably thought to be a rhino.
In Peninsular Malaysia, we have to species of rhinoceros, namely Javan Rhinoceros and Sumatran Rhinoceros. The Javan Rhinoceros, however was extinct, since 1932, and now, only two individuals of Sumatran Rhino survive in an enclosure at Tabin Wildlife Reserve, Sabah.
