    "Rhinos are targeted by poachers, fueled by the belief in Asia that their horns cure various ailments. Experts say the rhino horn is becoming more lucrative than drugs.

    ...

    The western black rhino was declared extinct seven years ago as a result of poaching. All five remaining rhino species worldwide are considered threatened, according to the conservation group Save the Rhino."

    Sorry to hear this, what an awesome animal - at least they managed to save Sudan's genetic material, ought to at least give it another shot with those two girl northerns left.

    I saw this story here first, also gives an update on cousins:

    Last male northern white rhino dies

    and they said Sudan was 45, which is equivalent to about 90 in human years and now I feel old. He was so awesome, though, and hope his kind make a comeback.

    For a moment I thought you meant Male Northern White Republican In Name Only.

    Ya I know I'm a white supremacist, racist, Yankee male chauvinist.

    Darn. Beat me to it.

    They should have moved this rhino to Washington DC. RINOs seem to thrive there.
