Sudan, the world’s last male northern white rhino, died after “age-related complications,” researchers announced Tuesday. There are now only two northern white rhinos left in the world – both are female. The last male northern white rhino had been born in Sudan, taken to a Czech zoo and then transferred in 2009 to Kenya, where had become a bit of a celebrity. "Additionally, his genetic material was collected yesterday and provides a hope for future attempts at reproduction of northern white rhinos through advanced cellular technologies." A fourth female northern white rhino died in the San Diego Zoo in 2015.
