Well, not quite yet… but maybe someday…
Last winter, scientists in Spain cloned a Pyrenean ibex, which is a type of mountain goat.
Yes, they’ve been cloning sheep for awhile now, so you may be asking yourself “Self, why is this important?”
Well you see, the Pyrenean ibex is extinct. The goat was cloned from frozen skin cells.
Alas, the poor baby goatlet only lived for about 7 minutes. Obviously the technique needs some perfecting.
So don’t rush out to the Jurassic Park box office quite yet. But I’m confident in declaring the return of the dinosaur inevitable. It’s just a matter of time.

Cloned extinct sheep? Is anyone else thinking this sounds like the plot to Black Sheep???
