As the country and world at large mourn the death of Sudan, the world’s last male white rhino, fashion stylist Annabel Onyango and her husband Sauti Sol manager Marek Fuchs have more to ponder on and mourn over.
In a recent post Annabel revealed that while at the Ol Pejeta conservancy where she and her husband had visited to mark their first wedding anniversary was a bitter sweet moment after she suffered a miscarriage.
In a long post she also took the time to extend her condolences to the men and women who worked tirelessly to ensure Sudan was well taken care of.
‘’Yesterday, Sudan passed away. He was the last remaining male Northern White Rhino in the world. My mother-in-law Gita Fuchsova facilitated his transfer from a Czech zoo to @olpejeta in #Kenya where they hoped to breed more endangered Northern Whites; due to a number of factors the mission was unsuccessful.

“To us, Sudan represented a beautiful coalescence of Czech Republic and Kenya (kinda like our marriage). In this image I am also pregnant with our baby who we tragically lost that same week to a miscarriage. There are so many emotions tied up here. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the human team at @olpejeta for their tireless efforts towards animal conservation.
“It’s a magical place to visit due to the sheer volume of wildlife. We thank them for allowing us to get this close to this treasure Sudan (can you imagine touching a live rhino!) that they were safeguarding for all of humanity. We have our new beginning in our baby Kenzo who was born one year later. As conservationists scramble to use Sudan’s DNA to reproduce more Northern White Rhinos, we pray theirs will come too #RememberingSudan #WorthMoreAlive.’’ She posted.
The 45 year old white rhino was being treated for age-related complications that led to degenerative changes in muscles and bones combined with extensive skin wounds. According to the conservancy his condition got worse and he was unable to stand up and was suffering a great deal.
