The reasons vary from the ethics to the process to the lack of purpose. While cloning a pet has become part of our culture, albeit a fraction of it, cloning humans hasn’t happened. Since that time, multiple animal species have been cloned, and private firms have opened for everything from pet cloning to wild animal cloning. Cloning animals has been going on for over two decades, ever since the 1996 cloning of Dolly the sheep. This may be the first Arctic wolf to be cloned, but it’s not the first mammal. Unsure about the ability to introduce Maya to original Arctic wolf groups, Harbin Polarland expects to have Maya live alone, at least at first. Maya still lives in the Sinogene lab with her beagle surrogate mother, but Harbin Polarland plans to eventually bring her to its park. It is the first case of its kind in the world.” “After two years of painstaking efforts, the Arctic wolf was cloned successfully. “To save the endangered animal, we started the research cooperation with Harbin Polarland on cloning the arctic wolf in 2020,” said Mi Jidong, Sinogene general manager, in a press conference, according to Global Times. The company-known for cloning mostly dogs, cats, and horses-highlighted the process of taking donor cells from a wild female Arctic wolf. Sinogene Biotechnology of Beijing, showed off the cloned Arctic wolf pup via video on September 19. ![]() The cloned wolf pup, named Maya, was born on June 10 and will eventually move into an arctic-themed park in China called Harbin Polarland, to be shown off to the public. ![]()
