Scientists in Kenya found success once again in harvesting eggs from the only two northern white rhinos worldwide, furthering the initiative to save the animal from extinction.

The last two northern white rhinos, Fatu and Najin are both female and have been living at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. When the last male, Sudan, died in 2018, it raised concerns that the subspecies was on the verge of extinction.
