oct 8, 2006 - the black rino goes extinct
Description:
At the start of the 21st century, there were four subspecies of black rhino. In 2006, the World Conservation Union announced that one of the four subspecies, the West African Black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis longipes), had been tentatively declared extinct. Despite an exhaustive survey across Africa, none could be found, and there were none being held in captivity anywhere. The remaining three subspecies were critically endangered.
