        Genetic engineering, isn't this the way? Poor Sudan, he's so lonely. And we will be lonely without the white rhinos as well...

        We still have thousands of southern white rhinoceros in east and southern Africa. 'Sudan' belongs to the the other sub-species of white rhino- the northern white rhinoceros.

        That's good, but anyway, it's terrible to have a part of our world died through our own fault. And 'Sudan' is still lonely )

        Inaccurate reporting right here!!! The headline should read "'Sudan' is the only surviving male northern white rhino...". Indeed, there still are thousands of southern white rhinoceros in the wild in Africa, particularly in southern Africa.

        I feel so sad when I think that this species will go extinct in a fews month or years. What we need is a miracle now.
