Tam the rhino

KOTA KINABALU: Tam, Malaysia's last surviving male Sumatran rhino, has no more than a few weeks to live, if not days, due to old age.

Tam, who is estimated to be in his mid-30s, has shown slight improvement over the last two days, due to intensive care since the Sabah Wildlife Department (SWD) announced on Sunday (May 19) that it was in critical condition.
