The northern white rhinoceros, or northern square-lipped rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni), is one of two subspecies of the white rhinoceros (the other being the southern white rhinoceros). Formerly found in several countries in East and Central Africa south of the Sahara, this subspecies is a grazer in grasslands and savanna woodlands. As of March 19, 2018, there were only two known rhinos of this subspecies left, both of which are female; barring the existence of unknown or misclassified male northern white rhinos elsewhere in Africa, this makes the subspecies functionally extinct. The two female rhinos belong to the Dv??r Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic but live in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya and are protected round-the-clock by armed guards.

According to the latest International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) assessment from 2011, the subspecies is considered "Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct in the Wild)."[2] he zoo population is declining, and northern whites have rarely reproduced in captivity. There are now only two northern white rhinos left:

Najin, a female, was born in captivity in 1989. She is the mother of Fatu.[3] Her mother was Nasima and her father was Sudan.[4]
Fatu, also a female, was born in captivity in 2000.[3] Her mother is Najin and her father was Saut.[5] They both belong to the Dv??r Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic, but live in Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, Africa.[6] They arrived at the conservancy after an air and road trip on December 20, 2009,[7] along with two male northern white rhinos from the Dv??r Králové Zoo, Suni and Sudan. However, Suni, a male born at Dv??r Králové Zoo in 1980, died from natural causes in Ol Pejeta Conservancy in 2014.[8][9] Sudan, caught from the wild in 1975, died on March 19, 2018.[4][10][11]
