Malaysia's last male Sumatran rhino dies
[DAWN] Malaysia's last surviving male Sumatran rhino died on Monday, wildlife officials said, leaving behind only one female in the country and pushing the critically-endangered species closer to extinction.
Rhinos are extinct in the Americas too.
Once found as far away as eastern India and throughout Malaysia, the Sumatran rhino has been almost wiped out, with fewer than 80 left, according to the World Wildlife Fund.
It's all our fault.
Only a handful of the creatures remain in the wilds of Indonesia.
We have people hunting them down though.
Sabah Wildlife Department director Augustine Tuuga said the Malaysian male, Tam, had lived in a nature reserve on Borneo island.
The CIA had been watching him for some time.
The cause of the animal's death was not immediately clear, but previous media reports have suggested it was suffering from kidney and liver problems.
Trump had him shot full of polonium.
