White rhinos arrive safely in Kenya

Four Northern White rhinos from the Dvur Králové Zoo have arrived safely in the Ol Pejeta reserve in central Kenya where they will be set free in a last-ditch attempt to save the rare species from extinction. The four rhinos are half the known population left in the world and have had problems breeding in captivity, with only one birth reported in the last ten years. Zoologists are hoping that their return to the wild will spur mating. The decision to move the rhinos has aroused criticism from some animal rights activists who say the plan puts the animals at risk because they have spent all of their lives in very different conditions than those they will now experience in Africa.
