Australia's first koala sperm and egg bank
The University of Queensland is establishing Australia's first egg and sperm bank for koalas to preserve genetic diversity of the species. Sperm and eggs will be collected from animals arriving at koala hospitals to create a genetic backup for future conservation efforts. The university has pioneered marsupial reproduction, achieving the first koala joey born through IVF and producing kangaroo IVF embryos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
