Newborn clone of almost extinct ox dies
Newborn clone of almost extinct ox dies The cloned gaur calf, Noah, has died from
clostridial enteritis, a dysentery-like illness which is almost
always fatal to newborn animals. With the help of biotechnology, an
ordinary cow on a farm in Iowa gave birth to Noah. The gaur is an
almost extinct breed of wild ox, with a hump-like ridge on its back
and with white or yellow stockings on its legs. It is found in
India, Indochina and Southeast Asia. JANUARY 16, 2001
