In school this week we have been learning about cloning and biotechnology. We are learning about the technology needed to clone things and the different types of cloning.
Here are some facts about cloning you may or may not know.
- There was a sheep named Dolly that was experimented on. Dolly was the first successful animal to be cloned.
- Walt Disney was frozen because he wanted to be brought to life when a cure for cancer was created. (Some say that Walt Disney may be hidden somewhere in Disneyland).
- We have found a baby mammoth that was preserved in mud for years. They say we can't clone the mammoth for a few more generations because we don't have the technology needed for the experiment.
- The lowest cost an somebody ever payed to clone their animal was 30,000 dollars.
- Somebody once payed 150,000 to get their pet cloned.
- 50,000 dollars and up is the average cost to clone your pet.
- Clones will look just like your pet but they will not have the same personality.
- There is a slim chance that the cloning of your animal will be successful.
This is a picture of Dolly the sheep. Dolly lived for six years. She was stuffed and placed in a museum after her death.
