Unable to stand, and suffering from a number of serious diseases in his advanced age, the world's last male northern white rhino(犀牛)was euthanized by a rescue team in Kenya on 19th March, 2018.Only two of the northern white rhinos remain on Earth-his daughter,Najin, and granddaughter, Fatu.

“We are all saddened by Sudan's death.He was an amazing rhino,and will be remembered for the work he did to raise attention of the sad situation facing not only rhinos, but also the many thousands of other endangered annals,”O(jiān)l Pejeta Conservancy chief executive said.

Sudan was born in 1972, in what is now South Sudan, when there were still about 1.000 northern white rhinos living in the wild.But their home was then destroyed by human.As The Washington Post's Kevin wrote in a report of Sudan in 2015:“When wars broke out, the rhinos were largely killed for their meat or their horns (角), or sometimes exchanged for money or guns.”

Rhino horn being highly prized is another reason for the killing of this kind of animal.The horn is considered to have medicinal qualities and is sold at very high prices.Even a recent drop in the price of rhino horn did not come soon enough to save the northern white rhino from near-certain disappearing in the world.

But Sudan was saved from the horrible situation by people from a zoo in the Czech Republic when he was 3 years old.After the death of Suni in 2014, the second-to-last male, Sudan became the only male northern white rhino in the world.He spent the last years of his life under 24-hour protection.His horn had been cut off just in order to stop people from killing him for it, though it had began to grow back.But the effort to save the northern white rhino seems to have come too late for a real turnaround.

Sudan's death is a cruel symbol of human not caring about nature and it saddened everyone who knew him.Hopefully it will call on human beings to save the endangered animals in the world.
