2018年3月19日，苏丹去世了，此前他是世界上zui后一头雄性北白犀。苏丹的经历非常奇特，在七十年代一次迁移非洲濒危动物的行动中，3岁的苏丹在苏丹共和国境内被捕获并送往捷克的Králové动物园，在那里度过了三十多年的岁月。2009年北白犀在野外绝种。2010年，为了提高北白犀自然繁衍的机会，人们把已经38岁的苏丹和另外三只北白犀一起送回了非洲，居住在肯尼亚的Ol Pejeta自然保护区，苏丹得以在暮年回归故乡。他们都已经丧失了繁衍后代的能力，也就是说我们人类即将亲眼目睹这一物种的灭绝。
On March 19, 2018, Sudan passed away. He was the last male northern white rhinoceros in the world. The experience of Sudan is very peculiar. During an operation to relocate endangered animals from Africa in the 1970s, the 3-year-old Sudan was captured in the Republic of Sudan and sent to the Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic, where he lived for more than 30 years. In 2009, the northern white rhinoceros became extinct in the wild. In 2010, in order to improve the natural reproduction opportunities of the northern white rhinoceros, people sent the 38-year-old Sudan and three other northern white rhinoceros back to Africa. They lived in the Ol Pejeta Nature Reserve in Kenya. Sudan was able to return to his hometown in his twilight years. They have all lost the ability to reproduce offspring, which means that we humans are about to witness the extinction of this species.
