A headline like this will at first put a smile on all our faces rather than make us feel sad.

I was so hoping that this was from the Washington, D.C. zoo.

Jeez, I hope the responsible Zoo authorities have been harvesting and preserving properly sperm and eggs for this species. It’s not a minnow.

One would have thought but doubt it. They had hoped he'd mate with another white rhino but that didn't happen. Good grief, as if the zoo couldn't artificially inseminate the female years ago when they saw the old guy wasn't up to the job.

They could ask some cowboys how they do it with bulls.

Ranchers use a dummy that the bulls mount and do their thing. It appears this old rhino had no sexual desires.

I’m getting Rinos mixed up with Hippos in my head. Both are herbivores who used to dominate West Africa . One of them will challenge you with his unicorn horn, while the other one has little ears, is fat all over and enjoys sitting in mud puddles. Neither makes a suitable Companion Pet, covered by insurance.

Hmm.

How's the bull know when the dummy is in season, I wonder?
