No wild black rhinos remain in West Africa, according to the latest global assessment of threatened species.
The Red List, drawn up by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), has declared the subspecies extinct.
A subspecies of white rhino in central Africa is also listed as possibly extinct, the organisation says.

How come it can never be the white Rhinos?
Fucking mother nature keeping the Black Rhino down.
Are there any kept in captivity? I ask because the article states 'No wild black rhinos remain in the wild."
Just sucks to lose another species. I know it's nothing new, but regardless of the fact I eat meat etc, I believe we should treat nature with as much respect as we hold for Humans (which I know, isn't much at times). But it's the principle.
