A black rhino, which is believed to be the oldest in the world, died on the 27th. december in Tanzania. It writes the BBC.
the Rhinoceros Fausta was first observed in Tanzania’s Ngorongoro crater in 1965, when she was three years old. Fausta lived in the wild nature in 54 years, but because of ailing health, among other things, after hyæneangreb, she spent the last years of his life in a sanctuary.
Fierce animals, especially the hyenas started to attack her, and she got some serious damage. In 2016, we would have to remove her from nature and give her specielbehandling.
Records show that Fausta lived the longest of all rhinoceros in the world, tell the vet Freddy Manongi from the Ngorongoro Conservation Authority. According to the vet died Fausta of natural causes.
the Rhino, living in the open air, is typically between 37 years 43 years, while they can live up to 50 years in captivity.
Fausta never got any fry, which experts believe has contributed to her long life.
