Sudan, The World’s Last Male Northern White Rhino Dies In Kenya

9Old and weak

Sudan was the only Northern White male left. Along with Najin and Fatu, he was a group of six but unfortunately all died leaving only these three as the last African Northern White Rhinos in the world. Tinder made Sudan the most eligible bachelor in the world on its dating site in a bid to save the species. In his last years, he was also unable to mount or impregnate the females which means the future of the species is more than grim and may soon be extinct.

10We may never see a white rhino again

According to the conservancy, the only hope is the IVF fertilization of the female rhinos using the eggs of the only two remaining females Najin and Fatu. As they too are old, the process may involve using Southern white rhino females as surrogates. Below is another photograph of Sudan who was used to his guards around him.
