Researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia successfully created kangaroo embryos using In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) through Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). This breakthrough aims to support conservation efforts for endangered marsupials such as koalas and Tasmanian devils, which face increasing threats of extinction. Scientists created over 20 embryos using genetic material from deceased wildlife, marking a significant step in wildlife preservation and reproductive science. This innovation has the potential to aid species conservation efforts and enhance genetic diversity in threatened marsupial populations.
