RE: The last male Northern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) died this Monday; there are now only females left of the subspecies

in #nature7 years ago

Thank you so much for this information! i saw it in the morning, but couldn't write back then. I somehow missed your previous article about Sudan, so i'm glad i read this one. Although it is very upsetting :( The only positive fact i guess is that he died among people who cared about him (i saw his photos somewhere on the internet) and not hunted by some asshole.

Yeah, that's a good thing. He was pretty well-guarded for most of his adult life, so no hunter had the chance to poach him.
