A tweet about a northern white male rhino, named Sudan, highlighting that it is the last of its kind has been retweeted at least 40,000 times since it was shared by a biologist on Monday.

Sudan is being cared for at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in central Kenya.
The conservancy is also running a Reddit page to highlight the species’ dire predicament.
They say attempts to get the rhino to breed have proved unsuccessful.
They even tried to woo would-be partners for the rhino, who was born in 1973, through dating website Tinder.
Sudan and the two female rhinos – Fatu and Najin – are the last three northern white rhinos left in the world, CNN reported in March.
