WHAT?!
"Human-rabbit hybrid in China (August, 2003)" This is a joke right? If not can someone please provide some info?--TailsClock 03:05, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I deleted that statement because a hybrid is not a clone, even if created through genetic manipulation. It would not be that strange to learn that human genes had been inserted into a rabbit cell, but that is different from cloning. Carptracker 21:36, 27 August 2007 (UTC)hit

Statement about inserting Asian carp Dna into a crucian carp
Crucian carp is an Asian carp. There are many species of Asian carp, of which Crucian carp is only one. What species was used in this DNA transfer? Also, this statement is really different from Cloning, which would be making a new carp that was the same as the old carp - This is about genetic manipulation, not cloning, so should probably be deleted from this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carptracker (talk • contribs) 21:33, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

Turkish sheep clones : fake or true ?
Can someone tell me :

- who added these two names (Oyali and Zarife) ?

- what proofs do we have of such a cloning, apart from turkish generalist press ? (scientific paper, anything...)

Thank you.

Cloning of Birds
At this list of animals that have been cloned there are no birds. So, what is the problem to do it? Is the birds cloning procedure more difficult than cloning of mammals? Krasss (talk) 19:16, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I came here to ask about the same thing. Guess nobody wants to be the first person to clone a dinosaur... 69.142.53.177 (talk) 22:54, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

This page should answer your question. Basically, mammalian uteruses are easier to work with than bird or reptile eggs because they don't move around the body. By the time an egg comes out, if it was fertilized the embryo inside is too developed to be useful for cloning and if it wasn't fertilized, it is dead. Hypershock (talk) 15:07, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Cloning of Monkeys
Should the cloning of monkeys from adult cells in 2007 (ref http://www.firstscience.com/home/perspectives/editorials/monkey-cloning-are-humans-next_39586.html ) be mentioned? This might seem more relevant than embryo based cloning. Bj norge (talk) 18:58, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * The 2000 "cloning" of rhesus monkeys was just twinning, which is technically cloning, but if we're going to count that, this list could include countless species and would lose its value. I agree it should be replaced with the 2007 cloning, and other "clones" that were caused simply by embryo splitting should be eliminated. JoeFink (talk) 15:25, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Carp cloning produces cats?
The Carp section of this page seems to have been merged with the Cat section. It states that rather than cloning carp, carp were used to clone a cat. This should be a finished explanation of the carp scenario, followed by an introduction to CopyCat, or "CC" as it is called in this section. I don't know about these specific instances, or have a link for the correct CopyCat information, but someone with those resources should change this back to two sections and correct the information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Outliveyourself (talk • contribs) 07:07, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Genetically engineered animals not clones?
There is an entry about a beagle dog named Tegon that glows in UV light. Cloning is producing the same genetically identical animal as another animal. Since Tegon was genetically engineered by inserting a green fluorescent gene into the dog cells for medical research purposes, it must obviously be genetically different from the original dog, so I vote we delete this entry. I know one reference says Tegon was produced "using the same cloning techniques" as Snuppy or Dolly but this is not the same as true genetically identical cloning.

 * There is also an entry for the sheep Polly and Molly that I vote we exclude for the same reason as for Tegon. These sheep were genetically engineered and were not genetically identical to the original adult cells.  The article Cloning in Wikipedia starts: "In biology, cloning is the process of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals..."

Dubious Claim
Hi, while I was looking through List of animals that have been cloned, and for the Dog section, there is a rather outlandish claim that Sooam Biotech had cloned 500 dogs, but has a citation to back that claim up. Can someone verify the integrity of that information? Thanks! Rᴀɴɢᴇᴅ Rᴀɴɢᴇʀ 📧 02:45, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Names of first cloned pigs
The article said at one point:


 * 5 Scottish PPL piglets (Millie, Alexis, Dotcom, Carrel, and Christa)

but was changed to say:


 * 5 Scottish PPL piglets (Jose, Josúe, Juan, Amber and Jose)

in this edit:

After googling the edit sounds wrong to me, but I do not know enough about the topic. Elmimmo (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 10:48, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Corrected here. You have found a case of very long uncorrected vandalism. Why a new source was added without fixing the names I don't know. Invasive Spices (talk) 25 January 2022 (UTC)
