Some smart people helped a rhino get a baby in her tummy using science. They made a baby rhino in a lab and put it in another rhino's tummy. This is good news because it can help save a special kind of rhino that almost has no family left. There are only two girl rhinos of this kind, and they can't have babies. The smart people want to use their science to make more of these rhinos.

The rhinos that are almost gone used to live in Africa, but bad people hurt them for their noses. Now, there are only two girl rhinos, and they are old. The smart people are working very hard to make baby rhinos in labs. They have to be very careful to make the babies and put them in the right place at the right time. They hope to make baby rhinos soon so that the old rhinos can see them.
