Scientists have for the first time successfully cloned a healthy creature of a kidney-endangered strain. This was announced on Tuesday.
The newspaper "Washington Post" reported that the scientists cloned a creature known as "Javanese bantang", a cow-like creature, from a single cell of bantang that died in captivity 23 years ago. The paper noted that bantangs are usually found in the jungles of Southeast Asia.
The "Washington Post" also reported that the cloned calf was born on April 1, and two days later another calf was born, but his health was poor. The San Diego Zoo, Technology Advanced Cell and a technological beef farm in Iowa participated in the project.
"Bantang's condition is excellent," said Robert Lanza, an employee scientist at Advanced Cell Technology-B. "He is a beautiful and charming creature."
Adult bantangs weigh more than 800 kg and have large horns. There are only between 3,000 and 5,000 such creatures in the world today.
