But, placing a northern white rhino embryo in a southern white female rhino isn't an easy task. The goal of producing a new northern white rhino calf now seems more realistic than ever before. These techniques would not only save the northern white rhinoceros, but also other rhino species, related species with a common ancestor, and all other creatures in need. This will give us more in-depth knowledge on how to approach egg creation from stem cells already present in the animal, termed endogenous stem cells. This is becoming a reality that gives us hope, motivation and energy to save the northern white rhino.
