His death leaves only two females - his daughter and granddaughter - of the subspecies alive in the world.
Speaking of Sudan's death, Jan Stejskal, an official at Dvur Kralove Zoo in the Czech Republic, where Sudan had lived until 2009, said: "His death is a cruel symbol of human disregard for nature and it saddened everyone who knew him."
"But we should not give up," he added in quotes carried by AFP news agency.
