Bull was an individual male southern white rhinoceros and a famous conservation success story for his species.[1] Southern white rhinos were thought to be extinct in the late 1800s until a small herd was discovered.[2] Since then, rhinos like Bull have been part of various international breeding programs.[1] As a result, their population is now close to 20,000, classifying them as Near Threatened and making them the only species of rhinoceros that is not endangered.[2]
Bull was born in South Africa and was eventually moved to North America, where he lived in the San Diego Wild Animal Park and Toronto Zoo until his death in 2008. He can now be seen in the Schad Gallery of Biodiversity in the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto as part of the museum's collection of Iconic Objects.[3]
