Sudan is the last remaining northern white male rhinoceros that was left on the planet. He is home residing in Kenya at Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Together with Sudan, two female northern white rhinoceros also live there. It was alleged that the rhino's horn can be vended at $75,000 and above per kilo which really leads them under a great threat.
There were really three male rhinos but unluckily two of the males died in 2014 leaving Sudan as the remaining of its kind. Since the genus of northern white rhinoceros lies on Sudan, he is well taken care and looked after. As the last northern male white rhinoceros, Sudan has a 24/7 armed guard guard.
Nevertheless, the 40-year old rhino named Sudan is their main concern together with the two female northern white rhinos.
The Ol Pejeta Conservancy is hopeful that they can raise funds to keep the rhino rangers safe and sound; so that in return these white rhinos can re-populate.
