I have not heard anything on the 4 northern white rhinos that the czech zoo sent to Kenya. Does any one know how they are doing?

Hello,
there seem to be no more updates since January 2011. Are they still alife? No news often seem to be bad news in conservation...

A second mating between Najin and Suni has been reported on the Ol Pejeta website. Here is the article: http://www.olpejetaconservancy.o...ajin-mate-twice
Seems that the move to Africa did indeed stimulate breeding activity. Let's hope we'll see baby northern whites soon.

Hi all,
Not really good news from the northern white front in Ol Pejeta, Kenya. The old male Sudan is running on his last legs. Neither one of the two females, Najin and Fatu, are pregnant yet. They are moving southern white bulls in with the girls to hopefully create hybrids with northern white genes so that at least their genepool will be perpetuated.
Sadly this means that there is no more hope for a 'pure' northern white subspecies. Very disappointing to say the least. Yet another (sub)species wiped out by humans. I was really hoping for one or two pregnancies after the hopeful reports of matings last year.
Let's hope the two northern white females will procreate, albeit with southern white males.
