It’s farewell to precious Tam

KOTA KINABALU: Malaysia bids farewell to its last male Sumatran rhino, fondly known as Tam, after the animal died but there is still hope that it may contribute its genes to the preservation of the species.

Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Christina Liew said she was informed of Tam’s death around noon yesterday by state Wildlife Department director Augustine Tuuga.
