Nola, one of only four remaining northern white rhinos, dies in San Diego
BY BNO NEWS

SAN DIEGO: -- Nola, one of the world’s last four remaining northern white rhinoceros, has died at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, pushing the subspecies further towards extinction.

Nola, who had lived at the San Diego zoo since 1989, died on Sunday at the age of 41. She was euthanized after suffering a bacterial infection, as well as other age-related health issues, that had worsened her health over the weekend.

“In the last 24 hours, Nola’s condition worsened and we made the difficult decision to euthanize her,” the safari park said in a statement. “We’re absolutely devastated by this loss, but resolved to fight even harder to‪ #‎EndExtinction‬.”
