...Austria's Salzburg Zoo, scientists are developing a recipe they hope will lead to the first production of white rhinos through artificial insemination. Franz Schwarzenberger of Vienna's University of Veterinary Medicine believes success with the tricky technique could help save even more endangered rhino species, such as the northern white. "It may be possible to collect semen in the wild and inseminate animals in captivity," he says. "This kind of assisted reproduction offers us a chance to improve the gene pool of the captive population without taking resources from the wild...
