An 18-year-old black rhinoceros named Klyde has died unexpectedly at Wichita's Sedgwick County Zoo. 

The zoo said in a Facebook post that the zookeepers reported that Klyde appeared healthy when he went on exhibit Saturday but then collapsed. Staff was not able to revive him. The veterinary team plans to perform a necropsy to learn more about Klyde's health and a potential cause of death. 


The zoo post described Klyde as having a "gentle demeanor and sweet personality." The zoo also posted a video that showed guests hand-feeding Klyde.
