The Northern white rhinoceros or northern square-lipped rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni), is one of the two subspecies of the white rhinoceros. Formerly found in several countries in East and Central Africa south of the Sahara, it is considered Critically endangered or Extinct in the Wild. This subspecies is a grazer in grasslands and savanna woodlands. As of December 2014, there are only five rhinos of this subspecies left. They all belong to the Dvůr Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic.

- {{stub} The Northern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni), is a endangered subspecies of the white rhinoceros or maybe a different species closely related to it. The northern white rhino is a subspecies of white rhino, which used to range over parts of Uganda, Chad, Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Years of widespread poaching and civil war in their home range have devastated northern white rhino populations, and they are now considered to be extinct in the wild. As of 2016, the species is extinct in the wild with only 3 post-reproductive individuals living in the Oj Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya.

The northern white rhino is a subspecies of white rhino, which used to range over parts of Uganda, Chad, Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

As of 2016, the species is extinct in the wild with only 3 post-reproductive individuals living in the Oj Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. The animal has only been showcased in Zoo Tycoon (XBox). The only times that the Northern white rhinoceros have been in the first two game is through fan-made animals.
- The Northern white rhinoceros or northern square-lipped rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni), is one of the two subspecies of the white rhinoceros. Formerly found in several countries in East and Central Africa south of the Sahara, it is considered Critically endangered or Extinct in the Wild. This subspecies is a grazer in grasslands and savanna woodlands. As of December 2014, there are only five rhinos of this subspecies left. They all belong to the Dvůr Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic. After 2000, six northern white rhinoceros had lived in the Dvůr Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic but four of them (which were also the only reproductive animals of this subspecies) were transported to Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, Africa, in 2009, where scientists hoped they would successfully breed and save this subspecies from extinction; one of the four died in October 2014. One of the two remaining in the Dvůr Králové Zoo died in late May 2011, making Nabire the only rhino there. Another rhino presently lives at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in California. A second rhino, Angalifu, also lived at the San Diego Zoo's Safari Park and died in December 2014. Following the phylogenetic species concept, recent research has suggested the northern white rhinoceros may be an altogether different species, rather than a subspecies of white rhinoceros, in which case the correct scientific name for the former is Ceratotherium cottoni. Distinct morphological and genetic differences suggest the two proposed species have been separated for at least a million years.
