The 45-year-old animal was down by his carers at a zoo in Kenya after "age-related complications". He had in very poor health recently due to his old age. Zoo officials say his condition had " significantly" and that he no longer the strength to stand. His muscles had severely throughout his body and his skin had "extensive wounds". The zoo's director : "Sudan's death was a cruel symbol of human disregard for nature and it everyone who him....He the heart of many with his dignity and strength."

Like many of Earth's majestic beasts, hunters have the northern white rhino to near-extinction. There more than 2,000 northern white rhino in the wild in the 1960s but their numbers continually because of the value of their horns. The only remaining northern white rhinos today are two females - Sudan's daughter and granddaughter. Both animals in captivity so they will protected. There are hopes that the two females can young to keep the species . In vitro fertilization techniques stored semen from other dead rhinos could be used to impregnate Sudan's offspring.
