Sudan was the last male Northern white rhinoceros/Northern square-lipped rhinoceros. There were attempts for him to breed with female Northern white rhinos, but none of them were successful. Since he was the last living male, he was protected 24/7 by armed guards.

Due to his body pains, he was euthanized on March 19, 2018.
