?Today, many endangered animals live in zoos. There, scientists work to keep each species(物种) alive. How do they do that? One way is by taking cells(细胞) from animals. Then the cells are frozen(冷冻). They can be used in the future to help animals reproduce.
?? ?The San Diego Zoo has been freezing cells for 40 years. It's also called the Frozen Zoo. Now, the zoo is the biggest of its kind, with a large gene bank. It has cells from more than 1,000 species. One of the species is the northern white rhinoceros(犀牛).
?? ?There are only five northern white rhinoceros alive in the world now. They are unable to have their children. Some scientists there want to use the bank's frozen cells to produce another northern white rhinoceros. They want to do this before the species dies out. That could happen by 2025.
