The Sumatran rhinoceros is now extinct in Malaysia after the last of the breed died of cancer; with there now approximately only 80 of the species are left in the wild in Indonesia.
The 25-year-old female rhino, named Iman, who has been cared for in a wildlife reserve since her capture in 2014, died in the state of Sabah on the island of Borneo.
The Rhino’s isolation, caused by habitat loss and poaching, means they rarely breed and may become extinct in a matter of decades, according to conservation group International Rhino Foundation.
