The Black Rhino is now officially extinct. It has not been seen in West Africa since 2006.

The plight of the rhino is a stark reminder of what scientists call the next great extinction after the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

    Very sad that we humans could not figure out how to not exterminate such a majestic animal from the face of the earth. Feels very strange.

    This seems almost like criminally negligent behavior on behalf of the entire human race.
