"Surrogacy Offers Hope for Endangered Northern White Rhino"

Scientists have achieved a historic breakthrough by successfully transferring a rhinoceros embryo, a development that could save the endangered northern white rhino from extinction. With only two females left in the world, scientists have used surrogacy to create viable embryos from the eggs of Najin and Fatu, the last two living northern white rhinos. The successful transfer of a southern white rhino embryo to a surrogate named Curra has paved the way for future surrogates, likely southern white rhinos, until the subspecies can naturally breed again and be released in the wild. This scientific achievement offers hope for the survival of the northern white rhino, which has been threatened by intense poaching for rhino horns since the 1960s.
