For clarity, this is a subspecies of white rhino. One of only two, so still kind of a big deal, but subspecies of animals disappear and appear with far greater frequency than whole species.

Not so tough now, are you Mr. Rhino?

I so wanted a white rhino belt, and matching boots. The codpiece was gonna be phee-nomenal.

Wikipedia says there are that egg cells and sperm were harvested from the last NWRs when they died and 9 fertilized NWR embryos exist.  They will try to implant in surrogate SWRs at some point.  Interesting if tech could bring back this subspecies.

Didn’t anyone learn anything from Jurassic Park?  Or 28 days later?
