The mountain goat is one animal perfectly adapted for life in alpine regions (areas above the tree line). Its teeth can chew the toughest vegetation, and its hooves have hard, sharp edges with a non-slip pad in the middle so they can climb on the steepest of ridges.
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
