The world’s last male white rhino died today.
Diversity in the animal kingdom is important, hope they can preserve the species.
How are they going to do that? The last male died - there are only 2 females left. Unfortunately the species is probably going to be extinct.
“The plan is to use stored sperm from several northern white rhino males, and eggs from the remaining younger females, and implant the embryo in a surrogate southern white rhino.”
why they want to implant the embryo in a surrogate southern white rhino instead of one of the remaining northern white rhinos, I do not understand.
