Just Two Northern White RHINOS Remain....In The World!!! by omojoibo: 9:00am On Jan 25 |
Just two northern white rhinos remain. The species’ first IVF pregnancy could save them from extinction. The first successful embryo transfer in a southern white rhino paves way for using technique to save rarer northern cousins. The critically endangered northern white rhino could be saved from the brink of extinction after scientists performed the first successful embryo transfer in white rhinos. After the last male northern white rhino, Sudan, died in 2018, the disappearance of the species looked imminent. Just two infertile female northern white rhinos – Fatu and Najin – remain, and are under 24-hour armed protection at a conservation reservation in Kenya. But a new scientific advancement means the mother and daughter may not be the last of their kind. An international team of researchers from BioRescue – a consortium, backed by the German government, which aims to halt extinctions – has performed the first successful embryo transfers in southern white rhinos, paving the way for the technique to be used for their rarer northern counterparts. In September 2023, scientists transferred two southern white rhino embryos into surrogates at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, resulting in a successful pregnancy. While commonly used in humans, horses and cows, the method had never been used in rhinos before.

Sadly, the father and pregnant mother died after contracting an unrelated bacterial infection. Photograph: JonJuarez/BioRescue The father and the pregnant mother died after contracting a rare, unrelated bacterial infection when the foetus was 70 days old, but researchers said the pregnancy was proof that the technique can work. Thomas Hildebrandt, the BioRescue project head and a professor at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research, said the technique was a key step in saving the northern white rhino. “This little baby is the proof of everything,” he told the Guardian. “The sperm injection, the fertilisation, the liquid nitrogen, the thawing – this was never done before for rhinos. All of it could have failed.” https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/24/just-two-northern-white-rhinos-remain-an-ivf-breakthrough-could-save-them-from-extinction-aoe 4 Likes 1 Share

I thought it only remained just one The challenge is how to successfully get them pregnant And secondly for the pregnant mother to carry the pregnancy and deliver Even such a breakthrough would be beneficial to humans itself if you remain the effect of artificial legs |
