Black-footed ferret recovery efforts aimed at increased genetic diversity and disease resistance took a bold step forward on Dec. 10, with the birth of Elizabeth Ann, created from the cells of Willa, a black-footed ferret that lived more than 30 years ago, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said.
The species, North America’s only native ferret, were once thought to be extinct but were brought back from nearly vanishing forever after a Wyoming rancher discovered a small population on his land in 1981. They were captured to begin a captive breeding program to recover the species. Elizabeth Ann is a genetic copy of Willa, a black-footed ferret captured among the last wild individuals, who died in the 1980s and has no living descendants, so is not one of the seven founders.
Congratulations & celebrations to nature rapists! Then go to Paris for the Climate change... Confusion: grade RISK !!
Now having more than one mammal/animal is yet again proof that science has came a long way to finally clone human beings
농사법의 우리농사 우리농법이라는 소리--불법물품은 폐기하세요 억지식소리는--원산지관련법(영국 -러시아 세계법 5번째법)의 많은 제한이 될듯 더러운 음식먹던 더러운 아가지라네요 올바른 국가관은 아닌듯--- 발통가격은 꼭내세요--좀더 떳떳하세요

I wonder if cloned animals also have the same spirit or character.
So, now cloning is fine, then.
How much to purchase 1000? I have no plans to build and train a ferret army.
NehmahlCutie ferretnews littleguy oneofus beast
Adorable..
🥰🥰
Aww
nice
So..
Never seen one of these guys but have seen a few his not so distant cousins in NW Montana. These guys are really fast. Perhaps this is the way to save them so maybe I'll see this guy someday!
Ahhhhh ThirzaMB aahhhhhhh aahhhhh lllliiiiiieef!
davidfrum These are endangered? You could find dozens of these under goth-girl owned kitchen appliances and sofas
From whom we shall soon usher in the Zombie apocalypse... *joke lol
davidfrum beginning of the end?

Should we? Just because we can?
barnes_law I'd love to know what the telomere length is on that clone. I imagine it has the half-life in time scale to live.
Ah the assassin of the animal kingdom
Na verdade é uma fêmea chamada Elizabeth Ann.
Any scientist enamored of cloning furry things should be forced to watch 'The Origin of Species' (an episode of The Outer Limits).
Cute, but also so creepy.
Hello to one Elizabeth Ann from another.
Didn’t Dolly the sheep have health & mental problems after they cloned her? Are all clones females?
is baby 🥰
