Attempts to mate Angalifu with Nola werent successful. His death - TopicsExpress



          

Attempts to mate Angalifu with Nola werent successful. His death leaves only one northern white rhino at the San Diego zoo — a female named Nola — one at a zoo in the Czech Republic and three in a preserve in Kenya. Rhino horns are valued as dagger handles and are mistakenly seen as an aphrodisiac. As a result, poaching has pushed the critically endangered rhinos to the brink of extinction. Just last week, preservationists at the Old Pejeta animal sanctuary in Kenya conceded that their one male and two female northern white rhinos will not reproduce naturally. The animals were flown from the Czech zoo to the Kenyan conservancy in December 2009 in hopes that the natural environment could be easier for them to breed there than in captivity. imgur/dl4jJM2
