Sumatran rhino Tam living out his final days

Gentle creature: Sumatran rhinos have a lifespan between 35 and 40 years. Tam is estimated to be in his mid-30s

KOTA KINABALU: Tam, Malaysia’s last surviving male Sumatran rhino, has a limited time left due to old age, says the Sabah Wildlife Department (SWD).

While his health has improved slightly, veterinarians however, are not giving him more than a few weeks, if not days, to survive.
