Northern white rhinoceros

The Northern White Rhino is the largest rhino in Africa, with a maximum wild individual of 3.6 tonnes and an artificial rearing of more than 4 tonnes.

Once the white rhino was divided into two subspecies, the north and south, and the number of white rhinos in the south was 18,000.

On March 19, 2018, the world's last male northern white rhino, the Sultan, died in Kenya at the age of 45.

On April 5, 2021, there were only two northern white rhinos left on Earth, namely "Sultan's" daughter "Najin" and granddaughter "Fatu".

White rhinoceros, also known as square-kissed rhinoceros, bottlenose rhinoceros. It is the only herbivorous rhinoceros species that feeds almost entirely on short grasses.

Large and powerful, with a peculiar shape, it is second only to African elephants, Asian elephants, and African Fenlin elephants among terrestrial vertebrates, and is larger than hippopotamus.

The body of the white rhino is round and thick, and the skin is smooth, about 3-4 cm thick. Only the ears and tail ends have hairs, and there are no large folds and wrinkles forming armor.

The tubular ears can rotate and the hearing is more sensitive. The upper lip is flat and broad, square in shape. The horns grow on the nose, and the two horns are one large and one small, one in front of the other.

Females have longer horns than males.

Their horns are not bone, they are made of corneal fibers, so their horns grow on the skin, but they cannot be underestimated, and their horns are particularly hard and sharp, and they are their weapons of self-defense and attack.

It seems that large animals are more docile in temperament, and white rhinos like to roll in muddy pools and sandy riverbeds.

It is a social animal that is mainly active in tropical, subtropical, savanna or shrublands.

Since 2021, the news that some organisms have disappeared or are facing extinction around the world is worrying, and the current situation of the northern white rhino is really worrying.

As for the scarcity of organisms in China, the species that have disappeared for decades have reappeared on the earth, and at the same time, there are new organisms that have evolved with the change of the environment, which have aroused the heated discussion of many people.

These changes are closely related to our ecological environment. Whether captive breeding can be carried out by relying on the two remaining female northern white rhinos is unknown.
