The catch: he's the world's last male white northern rhino and desperately needs to mate. Conservationists are hoping that Sudan's Tinder profile will help them raise enough money for $9-million fertility treatment as all attempts at getting him to mate naturally have failed. Scientists would use Sudan's sperm to fertilise an egg from one of the two last northern white rhino females: 17-year-old Satu or 27-year-old Najin. The embryo will be implanted in a surrogate southern white rhino, a far more common species. He's old, he might die soon," said rhino expert Richard Vigne, the CEO of Ol Pejeta.
