List of animals that have been cloned


This is a list of animals that have been cloned. The list is subheaded by animals of different types. The cloned animals are included in the list when citing scientific sources.

Camel

, a cloned female dromedary camel, was born in 2009 at the Camel Reproduction Center in Dubai, United Arab Emirates after an "uncomplicated" gestation of 378 days.

Carp

Embryologist Tong Dizhou successfully inserted the DNA from a male Asian carp into the egg of a female Asian carp to create the first fish clone in 1963. In 1973, Dizhou inserted Asian carp DNA into a European crucian carp to create the first interspecies of this clone.

Cat

Sooam Biotech, Korea cloned eight coyotes in 2011 using domestic dogs as surrogate mothers.

Deer

In 1958, John Gurdon, then at Oxford University, explained that he had successfully cloned a frog. He did this by using intact nuclei from somatic cells from a Xenopus tadpole. This was an important extension of work of Briggs and King in 1952 on transplanting nuclei from embryonic blastula cells.

Fruit flies

Five genetically identical fruit flies were produced at the lab of Dr. Vett Lloyd at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada in 2005.

Gaur

, a species of wild cattle, was the first endangered species to be cloned. In 2001, at the Trans Ova Genetics in Sioux Center, Iowa, United States, a cloned gaur was born from a surrogate domestic cow mother. However, the calf died within 48 hours.

Goat

Rhesus macaque
