Still Waters Posted July 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2017 A UK zoo is taking part in a radical plan to save the world's last three northern white rhinos from extinction. At Longleat safari park, scientists have collected eggs from southern white rhinos - a closely related sub species - to use for IVF. The eggs will help researchers to develop the technology to help the remaining northern whites to reproduce. A back-up plan is to mix eggs from the southern white rhinos with sperm from northern whites to create a hybrid. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-40655273 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
