This ferret was in danger of extinction and scientists cloned it. A group of scientists have managed to clone a species that was in danger of extinction. It is a black-footed ferret that was replicated from the genes of a specimen that has been dead for more than 30 years.

The new ferret, who was called Elizabeth Ann, was born on December 10 and her origin was announced last week, it requires special care, because despite the fact that she was given birth by a domesticated ferret, this predator black-legged has wild genes.

There are 140,000 species of viruses in the human intestine, according to experts. Cell reprogramming process developed in the US to heal wounds 5 times faster than normal.

“You may have quietly handled a black-footed ferret and the next day they will try to rip your finger off,” the US Federal Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) black-footed ferret recovery coordinator said Thursday. acronym in English), Pete Gober. “It is holding on.”

Elizabeth Ann was born and is being raised at an FWS Black Legged Ferret Breeding Center in Fort Collins, Colorado. It is a genetic copy of a specimen named Willa, who died in 1988 and whose remains were frozen in the early days of DNA technology.

Cloning could also allow the reappearance of extinct species, such as the passenger pigeon. So far, the technique holds promise for helping endangered species, such as a Mongolian wild horse that was cloned and born last summer in central Texas.

“Biotechnology and genomic data can make a difference on the ground in conservation efforts,” said Ben Novak, principal scientist at Revive & Restore, a biotechnology-focused conservation organization that coordinated the clones of ferrets and horses.

Black-footed ferrets are a type of weasel easily recognizable by the dark markings on their eyes that are reminiscent of a thief’s mask. Charismatic and nocturnal, they feed exclusively on prairie dogs and live in the middle of the huge burrowing colonies of these rodents.

Even before cloning, black-footed ferrets were a conservation success. They were believed to have become extinct – victims of habitat loss from shooting and poisoning of prairie dog colonies by ranchers, because they made grasslands less suitable for livestock – until A ranch dog named Shep brought a dead one home to Wyoming in 1981.

Scientists assembled the remaining population for a captive breeding program that has released thousands of ferrets in dozens of locations in the western United States, Canada and Mexico since the 1990s.
