Rare rhino death leaves only 13 worldwide

crap! i better get out there and shoot one before they become extinct!

in all seriousness, that is really sad. Its amazing how many animals are no longer around or have become extinct due to humans.

And that number is infinitesimal compared to the number of species that have died off naturally or at the hands of some other invasive species.

Humans are amateurs at the extinction game.
 
sounds weird, but I became interested in Rhinos originally because I wear Ecko Unlimited clothing and always use to wonder why the hell the logo was a Rhino. Read an interview with Marc Ecko and he said how they are such beautiful and amazing creatures. He does donate a good sum of money to helping protect them, so when I pay too damn much for one of his shirts at least I feel like I'm doing a bit of good.

Rhinos & Hippos rule.

More of that Alaska "knowledge" working for ya there? In the definition of "invasive species" is that it is introduced by man. This is hardly natural. Where do you get this stuff?

BTW, my sister is a conservation biologist that studies invasive weeds.
 
first humans killed off the dinosaurs now they are killing these damn rhinos. Bloodthirsty cvnts, can't they just kill themselves.

besides ANY species we kill off is just another one killed off. Just because there are (arguably) things with greater affect, does not diminish the effect we are imposing.
 
Northern white rhinos are considered critically endangered. Along with the two remaining at the Wild Animal Park, there are six at a zoo in the Czech Republic and as few as five believed to be roaming in the African wild, the zoo said.

Very misleading title - there are only 13 *northern* white rhinos left - *southern* white rhinos are still around in much higher numbers, along with black rhinos, indian rhinos, asian rhinos, etc.

Right, and if the title were "A rare species of rhino died", or maybe simply "Rare rhino species death", the title would have been much more descriptive. I read the article and said to myself, there's certainly more than 5 rhinos in the wild, or am I gravely mistaken? Not a purposely misleading title by any means.
