16 Most Notable Cloned Animal
Below is a rundown of 16 animals that scientists have successfully cloned.
Snuppy the Afghan Dog

Snuffy was the first ever cloned dog, cloned in South Korea, by a Korean scientists and led by a biomedical scientist Hwang Woo-Suk in 2005. The purpose of the project is to study human diseases.
Frog Tadpole

Frog tadpole was the first cloned by a scientist named John Gurdon In the 1970s but the tadpole failed to grow into adult frog.
Carp

Carp was the first ever cloned fish, cloned in China by an embryologist Tong Dizhou in 1963.
Masha the Mouse

Masha was the first ever cloned mammal, cloned by Soviet scientists Veprencev, Nikitin, Chaylakhyan and Sviridova in Russia, in 1986.
Prometea the Horse

Prometea was the first ever cloned horse, cloned in Italy by Italian team in 2003 to produce Italian stallions. Prometea was also the first ever cloned animal to be identical twin with her surrogate mother.
The Five Piglets

These five twin sisters were the first ever cloned pigs, cloned in London, 2000. The purpose was to modify pigs that can grows cells and organs that human can use. Their named are Millie, Alexis, Christa, Dotcom and Carrel and each have their own significance.
CC (CopyCat) the Cat

CC was the first ever cloned cat and the first ever cloned pet, cloned in Texas, 2001 . Also, CC was the first time cloned pet who has given birth to three kittens, last September 2006.
Little Nicky the Cat

Little Nicky was the first ever cloned pet for commercial, cloned in California, 2004. A client payed $50.000 to clone her died cat named Nicky. The cloned was named Little Nicky.
Ombretta The Mouflon

Ombretta was the first ever endangered animal to be cloned, in Italy, 2000. The project exemplifies how cloning can rescue a species from extinction.
Andi the Rhesus Monkey

Andi was the first ever cloned primate, cloned in Oregon, 2000. The purpose of the project was to make a test subject to learn about human diseases.
Idaho Gem the Mule

Mule is a hybrid among horse and donkey. All mules are sterile. Idaho Gem was the first ever animal hybrid to be cloned in Idaho, 2003.
Kaguya the fatherless mouse

Kaguya was the first ever fatherless mammal, cloned in Japan, 2004. Genetic material from two female mouse eggs was modified so the one fertilized the other.
Dolly the Sheep

Dolly was the first ever mammal to be cloned from adult donor, cloned in Scotland, 1996. Dolly became the most popular animal clone and the icon of animal cloning, but she died early. In 2003, she died due to lung cancer.
Pyrenean Ibex

Pyrenean Ibex was the first and to date the only extinct animal successfully cloned. Pyrenean Ibex was officially declared extinct in early 2000. The clone was born in early 2009, died nine minutes after birth due to lung damage.
Cloned frozen mouse

A 16 years frozen mouse was successfully cloned in Japan, 2008, producing four offspring. This cloning project was the first ever to make successfully frozen animal. The project brought the possibility to create clones from frozen fossil likes woolly mammoth.
The project to clone woolly mammoth from a frozen baby fossil was started in Japan, late 2008. Until now, the cloning project has been successful, but the project continues.

And to think about all the controversy that was occuring a few years ago, while so many animals were already coloned. I don’t agree with it, and the sad fact is in time they will do it to humans. Great Information and article. Awesome

this is always an interesting topic, science has really come a long way, however some things are better left alone. When a species, pet or person dies, it happens for a reason, I could never have a passed pet cloned, much less a person. What about bringing species back from the past? That could be more dangerous than imagined. Great read, very well done.

I am not sure that I agree to cloning. It is much to close to doing God’s work, and in that field we have to be very sure it is OK.
