Veterinarians are seen harvesting eggs from Ans, a southern white rhino, at Beekse Bergen safari park near Tilburg, southern Netherlands, Thursday March 29, 2007. A team at the park successfully harvested eggs from the 1,900 kilogram (4,190 pound) rhino. The animal was anesthetized before the eggs were removed from her ovaries, the plan is now to inseminate the eggs, freeze them and ultimately place the fertilized eggs in 'surrogate mother' rhinos.
