western black rhinoceros
The western black rhinoceros (''Diceros bicornis longipes'') or West African black rhinoceros was a subspecies of the black rhinoceros, declared extinct by the IUCN in 2011.〔 They were believed to have been genetically different from other rhino subspecies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ibtimes.com/western-black-rhino-poached-out-existence-declared-extinct-slack-anti-poaching-efforts-responsible )〕 It was once widespread in the savanna of sub-Saharan Africa, but its numbers declined due to poaching. The western black rhinoceros resided primarily in Cameroon, but recent surveys have failed to locate any individuals.
== Taxonomy ==
This species was named ''Diceros bicornis longipes'' by Ludwig Zukowsky in 1949. The word “''longipes''” is of Latin origin, combining ''longus'' (“far, long”) and ''pēs'' (“foot”). This refers to the species’ long distal limb segment, one of many special characteristics of the species. Other distinct features of the western black rhino included the square based horn, first mandibular premolar retained in the adults, simple formed crochet of the maxillary premolar, and premolars commonly possessed crista.
The population was first discovered in Southwest Chad, Central African Republic (CAR), North Cameroon, and Northeast Nigeria.
