Northern white rhinoceros

Subspecies of white rhinoceros

The northern white rhinoceros or northern white rhino is one of two subspecies of the white rhinoceros. This subspecies is a grazer in grasslands and savanna woodlands. Formerly found in several countries in East and Central Africa south of the Sahara, since 19 March 2018, there are only two known rhinos of this subspecies left, named Najin and Fatu, both of which are female; barring the existence of unknown or misclassified male northern white rhinos elsewhere in Africa, this makes the subspecies functionally extinct. The two female rhinos belong to the Dvลฏr Krรกlovรฉ Zoo in the Czech Republic but live in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya where they are protected round-the-clock by armed guards.
