A nutria, also known as coypus or swamp rats, among the bushes in Edirne, Turkey.

White rhinos were declared functionally extinct after the death of the last male, Sudan, in 2018. Both Najin and Fatu have uterus problems, although the latter still produces viable eggs, making her a candidate for IVF
