The World’s Last Male Northern White Rhino Is on Death Watch
KFOR ^ | MARCH 2, 2018

With three northern white rhinos left in the world, the only male is gravely ill, raising fears the subspecies is getting closer to extinction.

Sudan made headlines last year when the Tinder dating app named him the “most eligible bachelor in the world” in a campaign to raise funds to save the subspecies.

At 45, considered elderly in rhino years, the animal lives at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya with two female northern white rhinos — Fatu and Najin. They are the last three northern white rhinos.

They should be able to get as much semen as they need off Joy Behar’s cocktail dress.

"...having seen several rhinos in the wild..."


They must be remarkable and HUGE when seen live. I am envious.
For all their enormous size they can swim as gracefully as a duck on the water.

I’m surprised it took someone so long to mention Johnny McCain...

They’re “white” rhinos, so nobody cares.

Well, the black ones are better, of course. White rhinos deserve to die out. They’re white.

Nothing I love more than a rhinoceros. In fact my name Choice came from an interesting experience I had with a rhino once.

But a separate population geographically is not a separate species, they played that game with the spotted owl

I thought this might have been about John McCain, but Arizona is south.

And McCain is hardly the last. He is more like the first. There are thousands more of them waiting in the wings.

Well, at least the world won’t have to deal with any more “toxic masculinity” from white rhinos...

Send an urgent email to Babs Streisand. She just had her dog cloned —twice—at 50Gs a clone.

Not that "huge" from the distance we were at.First time was about 35 years ago in Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania.We were a couple of hundred yards from him (her) but the guides refused to get any closer out of fear.

Of course that same day they got us within about 20 feet of a small pride of lions just hanging out,resting."It's OK",they said,"they've just eaten".Kid you not!

And McCain was born in the Central American country of Panama... NOT in the Canal Zone.
