Health of world’s last male northern white rhino in decline

The health of the world’s last male northern white rhino is deteriorating and minders say his “future is not looking bright.”

The 45-year-old rhino named Sudan was listed on the Tinder dating app last year as “The Most Eligible Bachelor in the World” as a fundraiser. He lives with the last two female northern white rhinos in Kenya’s Ol Pejeta Conservancy, which said Thursday that Sudan is suffering from an infection despite 24-hour care by veterinarians.
