In a last-ditch attempt to save an endangered breed of cattle, scientists in New Zealand have cloned a cow named Lady ... Until Elsie's birth, Lady was the last female survivor of the Enderby Island breed, which had been living in isolation on the icy island near New Zealand for more than a century.... "With [Elsie's birth], we have vastly improved the chances of saving this endangered breed, which had adapted genetically to live in sub-Antarctic conditions," says David N. Wells of the Ruakura Research Center in Hamilton, New Zealand, who led the cloning effort.
