Celia the Cloned Pyrenean Ibex Is Born

July 30th, 2003 21 years ago

Celia, a cloned Pyrenean ibex, is born three years after the last of her species died. Despite the initial excitement surrounding her birth, Celia quickly succumbed to lung defects, making her the first cloned animal of an extinct species to be born and die soon after. This marked a significant moment in conservation biology, sparking debates about cloning and its implications for species revival and preservation.
