Cloning an Extinct Species

Pyrenean ibex, a kind of Spanish wild goat, has been extinct for 9 years. The last one to live died from a falling tree. That is, until just recently when the species became 'un-extinct' for a brief seven minutes before dying of a severe lung defect. Scientists from the Centre of Food Technology and Research of Aragon were the ones responsible for the achievement. At that time, they implanted embryos into fifty-seven surrogate goats. The result of this was seven pregnancies and one live birth. Exactly why the species have gone extinct in the first place is unknown. Now there are other scientists who are trying to clone other extinct species such as mammoths, and the Tasmanian
