CHAPTER SIX
THIS PHOTOGRAPH OF NOLA THE NORTHERN WHITE RHINOCEROS, RELAXING IN HER
ENCLOSURE AT THE SAN DIEGO ZOO, WAS TAKEN IN DECEMBER 2014. NOLA DIED LESS
THAN A YEAR LATER. SCIENTISTS HAVE SAVED SOME OF NOLA’S CELLS. THEY MIGHT BE
USED TO GENETICALLY ENGINEER NORTHERN WHITE RHINOCEROSES, AN ENDANGERED
SPECIES WITH ONLY THREE REMAINING ANIMALS.
