Brazilian researchers claim cloned cow

Brazil’s agricultural research agency says it has successfully cloned a cow belonging to a nearly extinguished breed, in an experiment that could help save other endangered species.

Two calves, named Pora and Potira, were born last month in a healthy condition after being cloned from a nine-year-old cow of the Junqueira breed, which is known for its prized meat and has fewer than 100 animals left in Brazil, the government agency said.
