Scientists Fertilize Eggs From the Last Two Northern White Rhinos

A mother and daughter are the only two northern white rhinoceroses left in the world. Their eggs were fertilized using sperm from males who have died.

There are currently two northern white rhinos alive on planet earth. They are a mother and daughter named Najin and Fatu and neither is capable of carrying a pregnancy. The last male of the species, Sudan, died of old age last year.

You’d think these bleak facts would guarantee certain extinction, but scientists at Avantea have now successfully fertilized 7 eggs taken from the two female rhinos with frozen sperm from deceased males of their species.

If the eggs develop successfully, the next step will be to implant one into a female southern white rhino to carry the pregnancy. This is the first time a procedure like this has been successful, and it opens up a huge number of possibilities not just for northern white rhinos, but for critically endangered species everywhere.
