    'The Last Animals' Sheds Light on Rhino, Elephant Extinction
    March 25, 2018 | WASHINGTON — The death this month of 45-year-old Sudan, the last male northern white rhino on the planet, rings the alarm on the imminent extinction of other endangered animals. The news also gives a renewed urgency to Kate Brooks' documentary The Last Animals, about the threat poaching poses to the dwindling populations of rhinos and elephants.

    We're in a mass extinction event. And we are behind the ‘biological annihilation’. The yanks wanting to shoot things best speed up!

    Let's see doesn't the species on the top of the food chain determine what happens to all lesser species, and HUMANS are on the top of the food chain is Natural Selection in action and Evolution in action species need to adapt to humans or die out. If nature decides to end humanity it will find a way to do so.

    Southern white rhinos are not even endangered species. They are "near threatened" which is one step above "No concern." Their population is even increasing. The categories are:
    • Extinct (EX) – No known individuals remaining
    • Extinct in the wild (EW) – Known only to survive in captivity, or as a naturalized population outside its historic range
    • Critically endangered (CR) – Extremely high risk of extinction in the wild
    • Endangered (EN) – High risk of extinction in the wild
    • Vulnerable (VU) – High risk of endangerment in the wild
    • Near threatened (NT) – Likely to become endangered in the near future
    • Least concern (LC) – Lowest risk (Does not qualify for a more at-risk category; widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.)
