Episode 6: Sudan: The Last of the Rhinos

Duration: 1 hour, 1 minute

First broadcast: on BBC Two HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Northern Ireland HD

The remarkable story of 43-year-old Sudan, the very last male northern white rhino on the planet. Aged just three, Sudan was snatched from his mother's side in Central Africa. He became a prized exhibit in a zoo behind the Iron Curtain, while the rest of his kind was poached to extinction in the wild. Today, Sudan has become an unwitting celebrity and the focus of a desperate eleventh hour battle to save his sub-species. This astonishing modern-day fable is told through the international cast of characters who have been involved in Sudan's life, for better and for worse. Show less
