Czech Zoo Releases Rhinos

A zoo in the Czech Republic will move four northern white rhinos from captivity to a conservation area in Kenya in an attempt to save the endangered species. The four rhinos, possibly half of the world’s population, live in the Dvur Kralove zoo. The zoo hopes they will successfully mate when they return to the wild, where they will be protected from poachers, who kill the animals for their horns. Although critics say this is a dangerous plan because the animals are not equipped to live in the wild, zookeepers say their genetic memory will help them adapt and survive.
