White rhino dies only 5 left in the world
by Adrianna Martinez

A Northern White rhino dies at the San Diego zoo leaving only 5 left in the whole world.The zoo also has an elderly female white rhino which is part of the remaining 5 rhinos.The death of this rhino is bringing this species close to extinction.There are no known other Northern white rhinos in the wild. The species has drastically declined due to poachers wanting their horns.

This event is very serious and could end with an extinction of an amazing species. I'm not sure what they could do to prevent the extinction of the northern white rhinos. If the rhinos could produce off springs that could help the situation but if they are all too old then sadly,nothing can be done to fix this situation.
