White Northern Rhino Leads to Extinction

October 21, 2014 By Brian Galloway Leave a Comment

white northern rhino dies

One of the second last breed of white male northern rhinos on the planet died in a reserve of Kenya. After this death merely six other rhino species are left all around the world.

Researchers determine natural cause as the reason behind the death of the 34 year rhino. The study revealed that even the immediate father of this rhino died at the same age in the year of 2006.

Suni, the 34 year old rhino was the last chance to protect the white rhinos from extinctions. He was found from the zoo in the  Czech Republic. It is a landlocked country located in the central Europe

Hunting is one of the biggest reasons of this annihilation of this species. These rhinos are extremely expensive in central and eastern Africa as they are highly useful for the production of Chinese medication.

Basically, the horns of these white rhinos are utilized in the creation of medicines. According to a rough report, nearly fifty nine rhinos were sold in Kenya last year. These buyers purchased the horns at an extremely high cost of $65,000 per kg. The rate is even more than the Asian price of gold and silver.

Currently, there are serious threats to the southern white rhinos that are found in Africa. Predators hunt them in order to get a large amount of money from the seller. Therefore, the number of hunters has increased to a great extent since last few years.

As per the speculations after ten years, this species cannot be found anywhere in the continent of Africa.
