Whenever you hear that a species is “endangered,” you probably think it is soon to be doomed. But that may not necessarily be the case anymore, as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) says it has, for the first time ever, cloned an endangered species native to North America. The clone is of an extremely adorable ferret who’s been dead for 30 years.
NBC News reported on the breakthrough cloning experiment. USFWS researchers, along with scientists from a handful of organizations, including the California-based “genetic rescue” team, Revive & Restore, managed the feat; one that culminated on December 10, 2020, with the birth of the black-footed ferret named Elizabeth Ann.
