The world's last rhinoceros dies

The 45-year-old rhinoceront, dubbed Sudan, has lived in poor conditions in recent days and was being treated by a multiple disease infection.

A team of veterinarians decided to end his life after he suffered from a difficult illness, a group “WildAid” said on Tuesday.

Sudan had lived in Ol Pejeta, Kenya, surrounded by armed security to protect against smugglers, reports “CNN” Transmission Periscope.

He was a noble giant, his personality was amazing and given his size, many were afraid of him. But there was nothing wrong about it,” said “Ol Pejeta” representative, Elody Sampere.

It is with great sad that Ol Pejett Conservancy and the Dvír Králové Zoo aside that Sudan, the world's last mountains never known hino, age 45, died at Ol Pejet Conservancy in Kenya on March 19th, 2018. #SudanForever # The LoneBachelorGone #Only2 Left Pic.twitter.com/1ncvmjZTy1

Researchers have saved Sudan's genetic material and hope that this material will match two females who are currently living for the species' breeding, Samper said.

We can only hope that the world will learn from Sudan's sad loss and take every measure to end all trade with the rhino horn. While rhino horn prices are falling in China and Vietnam, horn smugglers still threaten all kinds of rhino,” said “Wild Aid” Peter Knights.
