According to AFP, the rhino is called Suni. Suni died at the Ol Pejeta sanctuary for natural causes. Suni is said to be "the last male to be able to breed".

Suni was born in Dvur Kralove Zoo in the Czech Republic in 1980.

On December 20, 2009, four northern white rhinos (including Suni) were brought back to Kenya, their ancestral land from the Dvur Kralove Zoo in the Czech Republic.

Two males and two females made a journey of 7,300km from the Dvur Kralove (Czech) to Ol Pejeta reserve through a project called "The last chance of survival".

The sperm of Dvur Kralove-born males are currently being preserved at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW) in Berlin, Germany.

After Suni's death, the world only had about six Northern white rhinos and all of them lived in captivity.

The title has been changed.
