Western Black Rhinoceros
Trample
The western black rhinoceros was a subspecies of the black
rhinoceros, declared extinct by the IUCN in 2011. The western black
rhinoceros was believed to have been genetically different from
other rhino subspecies. It was once widespread in the savanna of
sub-Saharan Africa, but its numbers declined due to poaching. The
western black rhinoceros resided primarily in Cameroon, but surveys
since 2006 have failed to locate any individuals.
