There were only seven northern white rhinos remaining in the world seven years ago. Four of those, two female and two male, were brought to Kenya from the Czech Republic as climatic conditions were not favourable for their breeding.
Scientists figured the climate and rich grasslands at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Laikipia County would provide them with a better hood. But there was a problem: One male, Suni, then aged 34, died of natural causes in 2014.
There was more grief after all the other three northern white rhinos in the Czech Republic also died in 2015. That left only one male northern white rhino, Sudan, at Ol Pejeta. But Sudan was prone to problems. He had a low sperm count. To add insult to injury, he injured himself and the wounds would not heal. He died in 2018, at 45, and childless.
