The Northern White Rhinoceros is functionally extinct due to poaching, with only two individuals remaining. A video featuring Dr. Barbara Durrant explores whether the San Diego Zoo Safari Park's "frozen zoo" can reverse this.

If successful, this groundbreaking procedure could rescue critically endangered species and potentially resurrect extinct ones.
