UK rhino eggs could save last northern whites


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

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.

It's true. That's why the term 'poaching ' is used so often.:D
