Bakari the Southern White Rhino with Duncan Irschick

Caption

UMass Amherst and Perth Zoo released the world's first accurate, publicly available 3D model of the rare Southern white rhino. For some conservationists and researchers, this kind of model is the first step they can now take to reconstruct body composition and condition in the field to assess how healthy an animal is.
