Last: The Story of a White Rhino (2020), by Nicola Davies, follows the life of a white rhino from the wild into captivity. The story begins with vivid memories of freedom on the African plains, then moves to his capture and time in a zoo far from home. The rhino remembers his mother and the landscape he once knew, sees the world change around him, and feels the weight of being one of the last of his kind. The narrative tracks his journey through loss and confinement, showing the contrast between his earlier life and his later reality in a de-populated world, with scenes of both solitude and survival.
