Nakili, Brookfield_Zoo’s 33-year-old eastern black rhinoceros, was euthanized Wednesday after being diagnosed with kidney disease last year. Known as a gentle giant, Nakili was the oldest male of his kind living in an accredited North American zoo.
There’s a 3,000-pound hole in the heart of Brookfield Zoo staff. It was announced Wednesday that Nakili, the zoo’s 33-year-old eastern black rhinoceros, was euthanized.The rhino — who came to the zoo in 1994 — was diagnosed with kidney disease last summer, which had progressed to the point where supportive care was no longer feasible, officials said.
“Nakili was a favorite among the animal care staff, volunteers and zoo-goers,” who hopefully were “inspired by him to care more about his species and the natural world,” said Joan Daniels, senior director of hoofed mammal care and conservation, in a statement.The eastern black rhino is the most endangered of the three black rhino subspecies, with an estimated population of just 740 remaining in the wild in Africa.
