Meet the 1st Clone of US Endangered Species, Elizabeth Ann the Ferret
February 19, 2021
Cutting-edge technology is meeting cuteness overload with the first ever U.S. endangered species to be cloned - a black-footed ferret named Elizabeth Ann. She was created from the frozen cells of a ferret named Willa, who died in 1988. Elizabeth Ann’s cells were carried by a surrogate ferret and her birth was the culmination of a seven-year effort between U.S. Fish and Wildlife, the San Diego Zoo and biotechnology nonprofit Revive & Restore.
