Exclamation World's Last Male Northern White Rhino 'Sick'

Hello

Scientists hope to save the northern white rhino from extinction by trying to develop rhinoceros in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Quote:
Sudan is one of only three northern white rhinoceroses left in the world, period. A female, Nola, died of old age and infection at the San Diego Zoo in November 2015, leaving only Sudan and two females, named Fatu and Najin, at Ol Pejeta. Najin is Sudan's daughter, and Fatu is his granddaughter; both have conditions that make carrying a pregnancy impossible. What's more, in 2015, Sudan's sperm count was discovered to be very low, making him unlikely to father offspring naturally.
