http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/11/151123-nola-northern-white-rhino-dies-conservation-animals/ Nola, a 41 year old northern white rhino, had to be euthanized by the San Diego Zoo staff. Nola's illness worsened after a series of treatments. “Nola’s legacy will live forever as her death leaves just 3 northern white rhinos on the planet,” the zoo added. She has been at the zoo since 1989 and was brought to the zoo from Czech Republic. The three other remaining rhinos are at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. They are too old to reproduce naturally but scientists are finding a way to take the cells from individuals and are planning in vitro fertilization. This process could take around a decade.
