White rhinos: Scientists reveal last-ditch attempt to save endangered species with world-first IVF treatment

White rhinos: Scientists reveal last-ditch attempt to save endangered species with world-first IVF treatment

Scientists are hoping to save the critically endangered northern white rhino subspecies by attempting a pioneering IVF treatment.


The breed is the world’s rarest rhino, with only three individuals left – an elderly male and two females. The male, named Sudan, is 43 years old. The average lifespan of rhinos is between 40-50 years.


The females, a mother and daughter, have medical conditions that prevent them from conceiving naturally.


All three animals are protected under armed guard at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya.
