RE: The last male Northern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) in the world is serious ill, and could die very soon, leaving no males of this subspecies alive

in #nature7 years ago

The reason of their extinction is same which you described in one of your previous article. They all are killed for their thrones, some communities believed to have cure from several diseases using their thrones.

Yep, pretty much. I also think a lot of people like to have the horns as ornaments, especially the white rhinos that have these really weird-looking horns.
