This is Sudan, he is the LAST male northern white rhino in earth at 42 years old. Sudan is protected 24/7 on this 90,000 acre reserve with 2 other female white rhinos, there are only 5 white rhinos left on this earth. On the reserve there are also 106 critically endangered black rhinos and 20 southern white rhinos. If Sudan doesn't successfully mate with one of the female rhinos on the reserve, the northern white rhino is doomed.
His horn has been removed to help deter poachers in the area. Rhinos are commonly hunted and slaughtered for their horns, which are believed in some countries to cure ailments, although never proven, the horn of rhinos are made from the same materials as our fingernails.
Sudan is the true picture of loneliness and what humans have done to our world. We will keep you updated on Sudan's progress.
