was established nearly 50 years ago. Wednesday, they made a big announcement that can pave the way to clone more animals.
Liquid nitrogen at 320 degrees below zero keeps cell samples from more than 10,000 animals frozen to be used to produce stem cells to clone animals. So far, they have cloned horses and a black-footed ferret. CBS 8 went on a safari ride to see the world’s first cloned Przewalski’s horse who is alive today thanks to biobanking technology and conservation innovation. "It shows that the technology works. We can actually recreate animals from the Frozen Zoo and maintain genetic diversity," said Barbara Durrant, Director of Reproductive Sciences.
