<P> The northern white rhinoceros , or northern square - lipped rhinoceros ( Ceratotherium simum cottoni ) , is one of two subspecies of the white rhinoceros ( the other being the southern white rhinoceros ) . Formerly found in several countries in East and Central Africa south of the Sahara , this subspecies is a grazer in grasslands and savanna woodlands . As of 19 March 2018 there were only two known rhinos of this subspecies left , both of which are female ; barring the existence of unknown or misclassified male northern white rhinos elsewhere in Africa , this makes the subspecies functionally extinct . The two female rhinos belong to the Dvůr Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic but live in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya and are protected round - the - clock by armed guards . </P>
