The US Fish and Wildlife Service revealed the arrival of two newly born black-footed ferret clones named Noreen and Antonia.marks the first cloning of an endangered species in the US.
“These efforts are only in the preliminary stages of determining how this cloning technology will assist in the future genetic management of black-footed ferrets. The Service views this new potential tool as one of many available to help recover the species while also working to address habitat and other challenges to recovery.
All three ferrets, Elizabeth Ann, Noreen, and Antonia, were cloned using tissue samples obtained in 1988 from a black-footed ferret named Willa. These samples are preserved at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance’s Frozen Zoo. “These seven founders were among those captured from the remaining black-footed ferrets in Meeteetse, Wyoming, in the late 1980s. Extant populations, both captive and reintroduced, descend from these founder animals. With only seven genetic founders, the genetic diversity of the black-footed ferret has been a concern in the captive breeding program.
