Scientists have recently discovered that there is only one remaining northern white rhino left in the exsistence of this world. The only remianing male now has the fate of the subspecies in his DNA. With only two female northern white rhinos left in the world which are at the age of 25 and 15, the much older 42 year old male might not be able to mount on a female and mate anymore. The hind legs of the two females might not be able to handle the weight of a full grown male. The odds are not in the favor of the species. Scientists say that he could possibly mate with the Southern White Rhinos which is "better than nothing."There will be 24 hour security that will be watching the rhino at all times to protect it from poachers.

Wow this is incredible, I think that it's devastating to only have one Northern White Rhino left and that it cannot mate with it's own kind because it's to old. Sadly it has come to this point where everything is falling apart and that some animals are going extinct. This really caught my attention because I didn't know that was happening.
ReplyDeleteHumans should be aware of our actions and how they affect our enviroment. We have been responsible for the systematic extinction of many different species on earth since we first set foot in the world.
