world.San Diego Zoo Safari Park informed the people thru a social media that this news was last sunday the exact date of Anglifu death.This rhino came to California from the Khartoum Zoo in Sudan in August 1990 based on a legit website.This rhino died because of old age.
Many people was disappointed when Anglifu died because not only he's being loved by the people coming from the zoo but also he gave a wonderful species and his death bring this species to a closer extinction.
The northern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni), also known as the square-lipped rhino, once lived throughout parts of Uganda, Chad, Sudan, Central African Republic, and Democratic Republic of the Congo. As the second largest land animal, they can reach nearly two meters (six feet) in height, and the males can weigh up to 3,600 kilograms (almost 8,000 pounds). But their horns are valued for dagger handles and as aphrodisiacs, and poaching gangs have obliterated the species in the last five or so decades.
