22、e dangerous than expected. thats nothing more than a fiction. but could we really clone endangered animals? to date, the most successful attempt to do so was the cloning of a gaur, a rare ox-like animal from southeast asia. scientists used a cow to bring the cloned baby gaur, named noah. two days af

23、ter birth, however, noah died from a common bacterial infection. other endangered species that may be cloned include the african bongo antelope (邦戈羚羊), the sumatran tiger, the cheetah (獵豹), and the giant panda. next, could we really clone extinct animals? in theory? yes. to do this, you need a well-

25、or such a long time. cloning extinct animals as wool mammoth, tasmanian tiger, or dinosaur is much more difficult due to the lack of properly well-preserved dna. on the other hand, for example, a gaur can have a cow as a surrogate mother, definitely not a monkey. but what about an extinct animals as

26、 unique as the panda? what species could possibly serve as a surrogate mother? cloning presents many exciting possibilities. however, even if extinct animals are brought back, they could not survive in todays world. not only do most extinct animals have no habitat to love in, but the other plants an
