でかいぞ。。。
Scientists in Kenya have harvested 10 eggs from the last two remaining northern white rhinos in the race to keep the species from total extinction.
The two females – Najin and Fatuwill who are mother and daughter – live at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy.
Because neither one would be able to carry a pregnancy to full term, the scientists hope to create viable embryos and implant them into southern white rhinos.
Czech and German experts are leading the effort.
“If you want to start a population of the northern white rhino, one baby is not enough, you need as many babies as possible,” Jan Stejskal of the Czech Republic's Dvůr Králové Zoo says.
Eggs harvested from Najin and Fatuwill last year resulted in three viable embryos that are now frozen.
サイから10個の卵を収穫しただと? なにを!! サイは卵を生むんかい? さいですねぇ、サイは哺乳類ですからねぇ、卵はうまないですねぅ。仮にこんなデカイ巨体のサイが卵を生むとですねえ、卵焼きはでっかいぞーーーー!! ですかねぇ。 さいですねぇ。
などというとる場合ではない。何を言うとるんだ、記者は!! よーわからんが、eggは卵ではないだろう。卵子、卵細胞の意味であろう。このシロサイは絶滅危惧種であり残り2頭らしい。上の2頭で終わりだ・・・・なんとかしよう。。。。
そうだ、南のシロサイのオスをだな・・・・ まー頑張ってくれたまへ。
