ROME - Conservationists have successfully created two northern white rhino embryos in a key step towards pulling the species back from the brink of extinction, scientists in Italy said on Wednesday .The last male, named Sudan, died at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya last year, making scientists the majestic animals' last chance.
Neither is able to carry a calf. Fatu has degenerative lesions in her uterus and Najin has weak hind legs which could cause complications if she fell pregnant. They have now been stored in liquid nitrogen to be transferred into a surrogate mother in the near future. Mr Richard Vigne, managing director of Ol Pejeta, hailed the"major step forward", but warned"we have a very long way to go".
