The Last 3 of the World's Rarest Rhinos Are Unable To Breed by Tisha Wardlow was published on 19 March 2015. This article was about the last three northern white rhinos living on this Earth. Many scientist have tried to breed the rhinos but it just could not work. The female rhino, Najin (25y), is very weak and can not endure the breeding attempts while the male rhino, Sudan (38y), has weak sperm and can not provide enough. The other rhino, Fatu (14y), is infertile meaning these three northern white rhinos are the last to roam the lands of earth.
This article caught my eye because I love animals. When reading the title it interested me to read more of these soon to be extinct rhinos. I wonder why now that there is only three left of the WORLD'S RAREST rhinos that we now want to do something about it. Now there to old to even breed and we are gonna watch them go extinct which really saddens me.
The Environmental Science involved in this article are the animals involved. The northern white rhino was very sought after from humans. Humans have slaughtered these rhinos to the point of no return. Humans have slaughtered these rhinos to extinction and I think its something to be ashamed of.
This story was one of the ones that made me most sad. It's like the last Pinta Turtle :( 5/5
