A Black-Footed Ferret Named Elizabeth Ann Is Capturing A Lot Of Attention

Elizabeth Ann is the first successfully cloned endangered animal in the US and her cloning is a big step in saving the black-footed ferret population.

First time? Yeah right!

[@sebc3129]

First time for a ferret actually. Other animals went through cloning before Elizabeth Anne.

It might not be a big deal to the public, but the science world is freaking out right now. I intern at the fort collins museum of Discovery, and there was a huge battle between museums across the world to get the 2 domestic ferrets they used to raise Elizabeth Ann (her surrogate and the nursing mom). The national zoo, Smithsonian, and even a museum in Germany were attempting to get the surrogates. The fort collins museum got them and might open an exhibit for them or some type of showing this summer

So they clone animals but not people ok 😂🤡

[@sebc3129]

It is actually illegal to clone humans. That is why they clone animals instead.
