Solio, the oldest black rhino at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya has died at the age of 42.
The rhino which surpassed the average wild black rhino lifespan of 30-years, and thus nicknamed “Grand Old Lady”, died of old age on Monday. Solio gave birth to 10 calves in her lifetime and was part of Lewa’s pioneering population which also sums up as the biggest rhino sanctuary in Africa, with 84 black rhinos and 72 white rhinos.
