  • 6 years ago
++CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN LOOPED++ Intimate video of Sudan, the last male northern white rhino, has emerged just weeks before he died.

The rare footage was filmed wildlife filmmaker Matt Brierley at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya.

Sudan passed away on March 19 due to age-related complications that led to degenerative changes in his muscles and bones.

The last option to save the northern white rhino race is to use a mixture of in vitro fertilisation and surrogacy as only two females now survive.

The video was filmed on January 7, 2018.
