I guess they save some sperm from a male, but I am not sure if they saved any eggs from a female? I guess they could try and take one from one of the two left living, but I don’t know how risky that would be. Also, I am not sure how that would affect genetics since they are offspring I believe of Sudan.

They actually got eggs from the females a while back. They are not really in very good conditions since the remaining females are pretty old, so it's not certain that they will even work. But some scientists believe that they can use a Southern white rhino as a host womb, so at least they got that going.
But yeah, the genetics are another problem entirely, and in total there are so many issues that needs to be solved before this subspecies can be brought back.
This is going to be interesting! I really hope they can pull off this dire situation!
