List of animals that have been cloned

This is a list of animals that have been cloned in alphabetical order. One significant aspect of this list is documenting the transition from early concerns that animal cloning procedures might be limited to a few species, that cloned animals might be physiologically abnormal, or cloning might lack utility for society.

Carp
Chinese 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 clone.^[1]

Cat

• In December 2001, scientists at Texas A&M University created the first cloned cat, CC (CopyCat).^[2] Even though CC is an exact copy of his host, they have different personalities; i.e. CC is shy and timid, his host on the other hand is playful and curious.
• In 2004, the first commercially cloned cat, Little Nicky, was created by Genetic Savings & Clone.^[3]

Cattle

• First World cloned calf (Gene) was born on February 7, 1997 on American Breeders Service facilities in Deforest, Wisconsin. Later it was transferred and kept to Minnesota Zoo Education Center.^[4]
• A Holstein heifer named Amy was cloned by Dr. Xiangzhong (Jerry) Yang using ear skin cells from a high-merit cow named Aspen at the University of Connecticut on June 10, 1999, followed by three additional clones, Betty, Cathy and Daisy by July 7, 1999.^[5]
• Second Chance, a Brahman bull was cloned from Chance, a beloved celebrity bull. Second Chance was born August 9, 1999 at Texas A&M University.^[6]
• Texas A&M University cloned a Black Angus bull named 86 Squared, 15 after cells from his donor, Bull 86, were frozen (2000). Both bulls exhibit a natural resistance to Brucellosis, Tuberculosis and other diseases which can be transferred in meat.^[7][8]
• Millie and Emma were two female Jersey cows cloned at the University of Tennessee in 2001. They were the first cows to be produced using standard cell-culturing techniques.
• Pampa the first animal cloned in Argentina by Biosidus (2002)
• Ten more Jersey cows were cloned at the University of Tennessee. (females, 2002)
• Bonyana and Tamina cloned calf in Royan Research Institute, Isfahan, Iran in summer of 2009.^[9]
• In 2010 the first Spanish Fighting Bull was cloned by Spanish scientists.^[10] -- see also Got (bull) (2009).

• Anatolian Grey bull (Efe) was cloned in Turkey in 2009 and cattle from the same breed (Ece, Ecem, Nilufer, Kiraz) by TUBITAK^[11]
• GARIMA- I: world's first buffalo calf through the “Hand guided Cloning Technique” was born on February 6, 2009 at NDRI, Karnal(India).
• GARIMA- II: NDRI, Karnal(India).

Dog

• South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-Suk cloned the first dog, an afghan hound named Snuppy. Later in 2005 Hwang Woo-Suk was found to have fabricated evidence in stem cell research projects. This caused some to question the veracity of his other experiments, including Snuppy. In their investigation of Hwang Woo-Suk's publication, however, a team from SNU confirmed that Snuppy was a true clone of Tei, the DNA donor dog.^[13] South Korean scientists recently cloned 'sniffer' dogs.^[14]
• BioArts International held a dog cloning contest where people would send in submissions about which dog was the most suited to be cloned. The winner was Trakr, a K-9 police dog who was a 9/11 hero.

Horse

• Prometea, female, born May 2003, Italy
• Pieraz, male, born February 2005, Italy^[21]
• Paris-Texas, male, born March 2005, USA^[21]
• Gemini, male, born September 2008, USA, clone of multiple recipient of "Horse of the Year" award for jumping Gem Twist
• Saphir, male, born February 2010, USA, clone of show jumper Sapphire

Sheep

• From early embryonic cells by Steen Willadsen (1986). Megan and Morag cloned from differentiated embryonic cells in June 1995.
  
  
• Dolly (1996-2003), first cloned mammal from somatic cells
• Polly and Molly (July 1997), first transgenic cloned mammal
• Royana (2006) cloned in Royan Research institute in Isfahan, Iran.
• Oyalı [9] [10] and Zarife[11] were cloned in November 2007 in Istanbul University in Istanbul, Turkey.
