RE: The last male Northern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) died this Monday; there are now only females left of the subspecies
Im not sad that Sudan died bc he is simply has to die like everyone he deserves to rest bt im sad of what happened to their race. :(
If the female white rhinos are too old to reproduce they might want to consider using another female rhino of the same genus?. Maybe they could come up to an offspring carrying dominant genes 🤔
Yes, that's the plan. But it's even better than just a genus - the northern white rhino is a subspecies, not its own species, so they can use another subspecies of the same species (southern white rhino). And they also have both eggs and sperm from the northern white rhinos, so they can potentially just borrow a uterus from a female southern white rhino :)
