Rhinoceroses are the second-largest land mammals, eclipsed only by elephants. Despite their size, they have, for the most part, a gentle temperament. They are mostly solitary animals that prefer to live an independent life. However, they have their own territories and will fight to protect their territories. The size differs somewhat between males and females. A female will require an area of about one and four square miles. Males require less room since they roam in search of a mate. They can reach speeds of about 55 kilometres per hour (or around 35 miles per hour). Because their eyesight is not good, they can make blind charges and will sometimes run straight into a tree! Ol Pejeta is an incredible place to view rhino behavior. They have nearly 150 black rhinos, the last two northern white rhinos and 39 southern white rhinos. Help support Ol Pejeta’s work by donating to their end of year campaign to raise $150,000 for 150 rhinos via the link in my bio. #OlPejeta #OlPejetaConservancy #Africa #AmiVitale #NatGeo #Kenya #KenyanWildlife #Wildlife #WildlifeConservation #conservation (at Ol Pejeta Conservancy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXlnaLAFz9s/?utm_medium=tumblr

As news spreads of Sudan’s decline in health, I started to sort through my photos of when I had the opportunity to meet him in 2015. We find ourselves contemplating the extinction of the Northern white rhino as time moves forward, aging the last three of the species. And as infuriating as it is to know that poaching has lead us to this point, I hope any anger & frustration you may have can be converted to action and support. I often hear from people how much they hate humans. Or how embarrassed they are to be a part of the human race, due to how we treat other species. It needs to be pointed out that there are teams and teams and teams of humans who have dedicated their lives to protect these and other animals. In this moment, I think of Sudan’s caretakers, armed rangers that are protecting him and caring for him 24 hours a day - his guardian angels. They need our support, all of them. They are fighting to #EndExtinction. As are the veterinarians, keepers, scientists, educators and so on. I guess what I’m saying is, yes be angry and frustrated that poaching has brought us to this point. But we can’t lose hope and we can’t stop fighting, because there’s too much at stake. . #sudan #kenya #whiterhino #northernwhiterhino #olpejetaconservancy #africa #conservation #olpejetarhinos (at Ol Pejeta Conservancy)

Reposted @olpejeta Today marks the fifth anniversary of the death of Sudan, the last male northern white rhino on the planet. His passing in March 2018, here on Ol Pejeta, sent shockwaves around the world. He was a symbol of what we are at risk of losing, of what extinction means for our planet and what we so desperately need to protect. This touching tribute below was written by his caregiver James Mwenda. "Goodbye Sudan, I don't need to say it here that I loved you. You know it well from all the talks and the moments we had together, being with you for the last few years completely changed me. I promised to be your voice (I ain't sure whether I duly and diligently fulfilled that) but I did my best. When I look back, in my years of caretaking you, my sadness and the essence of losing you is overcome by a contentment that I gave you all the best. What I regret most, is whether my fellow humanity has learned from your existence. Though still my voice has been small, I have testimonies that you have left an imprint in the hearts of many. I never expected to hear a thank you from you, no rewards, no clapping for congratulations, no job well done words, and no praise for it. All I can ask you is your blessing buddy, that blessing means everything to me, old as you were I celebrate your life well lived. On the other side of life greet the rest of the rhinos, tell them that some humans still uphold the madness that rhino horn is a cure, but there are others that still are fighting for your future. I will try my best to honour all that we talked about and live for what you have taught me. R.I.P Sudan." - @jemu_mwenda Donate today, become a regular giver, or adopt in his memory, and help save the northern white rhino from extinction. @biorescue_project @leibnizizw @safariparkdvurkralove @kenyawildlifeservice Image credit: @david_hambridge and @andrewhbrown #Sudan #HonouringSudan #NorthernWhiteRhino #OlPejeta #OlPejetaConservancy #TheLastTwo https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-VmdDrcvV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
