1st clone of fighting bull

世界首頭克隆斗牛誕生

Scientists in Spain say they have cloned a fighting bull for the first time. They claim the newborn calf, named Got, is an exact replica of a muscular, horned specimen of the type matadors face in bullrings. The animal, unveiled Wednesday, is expected to exhibit the same fierce traits that his genetic predecessor had. Animal cloning began in 1996 with Dolly the sheep.

西班牙科學(xué)家宣布，他們已經(jīng)成功克隆出世界上首頭斗牛，并為它取名為"高特"。這頭小公牛身形健壯，長著鋒利牛角，跟斗牛場上的其它同類別無二致。"高特"在19日首次亮相，科學(xué)家希望它能繼承其遺傳前身兇猛的特性。世界上第一頭克隆動物是1996年誕生的克隆羊"多利"。
