Mouflon
From RationalWiki
Not a jerboa
A mouflon is a super-rare breed of sheep found only on Sardinia, Corsica, and Cyprus, that was cloned in 2001.[1]
[edit] Status
The mouflon is a super-endangered species and is one of six species of wild sheep. A small herd of mouflon is believed to live in the area of Chester Township, Geauga County, Ohio.
[edit] Cloning
In 2001, the mouflon was cloned as part of a program to help protect endangered species. The female lamb was produced by scientists in Italy using a technique pioneered in Dolly the sheep's cloning. Many scientists believe cloning may be necessary to save endangered species, as a last resort.
