Rhinos off to Africa
Officials say four rare northern white rhinos will be moved from a Czech zoo to Africa to live in the wild in an attempt to save the species from being wiped out.
Two male rhinos called Sudan and Suni and two female rhinos called Najin and Fatu will be taken from Dvur Kralove Zoo to Nairobi, Kenya, on Saturday. They will live on the Kenyan Ol Pejeta park, where zoo authorities hope it will be easier for them to breed than in captivity.
