3 White Rhinos Left
Zachary Mutai, the head keeper of the northern white rhino at the Ol pejeta Conservancy I Kenya, speak about the three critically endangered rhinos in his care is like listening to a doting dad extoll the virtues of a beloved child.
“I know when they are happy, when they are nervous,” he said. “[These rhinos are] my passion.”
The last 3 white rhinos are: Sudan, a 42-year-old male, and two females, Najin and Fatu.
The three rhinos, who were moved from a zoo in the Czech Republic to Kenya in 2009, remain under 24-hour armed guard at the conservancy. Poachers were largely responsible for decimating the species, and they continue to be a threat.
