NORTHERN WHITE RHINO
The northern white rhino used to live in Saharan Africa. However, their population declined largely due to poaching, what with the high demand for their horns, the prices of which were said to reach as high as $50,000.
They were usually shot from a distance and their horns removed, their carcasses left behind in the desert.
The last three remaining northern white rhinos were kept in wildlife sanctuaries in Kenya. But on March 19, 2018, the last male died. They are then said to be “Functionally Extinct” -- the last two females of the species live, but there are no hopes of them reproducing more of their kind, according to Kantor.
