I am disgusted to report the rapidly approaching extinction of yet another of God’s creatures due to a non-scientific superstition, that the waning sex uges of a certain group of human males can be revived by a phallic- shaped clump of tightly compressed Keratin, (hair) thіs Κеnуаn sub-sресіеs, thе nоrthеrn whіtе rhіnосеrоs, hаs bееn роасhеd іntо оblіvіоn аnd hе іs thе lаst mаlе rhіnо оf hіs kіnd оn thе рlаnеt аnd іs 45 уеаrs оld.

I watched a show on Nat Geo about Sudan and was very saddened. And now even more sad news…
A 45-year old northern white rhino died at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy this week. The death of a critically-endangered animal is always tragic, but this rhino, named Sudan, was even more incredibly important. Sudan was the last male of his species on the planet. Now, just two northern white rhinos exist, both female, one being Sudan’s daughter and the other his granddaughter. The species is now as close to extinction as it can get, with no living males and just two females in existence. Still, there remains a thin sliver of hope.
Please save our wildlife
that’s really sad to hear that the 1 of a kind can’t be reborn to carry on his genes
I hate to hear when animals like this are threatened & there’s no action taken to
have off springs from them to carry on in the world, when the time come I hope
he dies in peace & not suffer may god bless him on the other side in the kingdom.
So very sad. Sure hope that fellow starts feeling a bit better about himself. Hope they can figure something out.
