"Crystal", an endangered black-footed cat, was recently born to a domestic cat surrogate at the Audubon Center for Research of Endangered Species. The birth was achieved using a previously frozen embryo, marking the first successful implementation of this method for this species. Last year, the center also pioneered the first in-vitro fertilization of black-footed cats. First mice, now cats, maybe Neanderthals next.

Fingers crossed for mammoths! And if we're on it, let's mix their genes with some smaller animals so we can have cat-sized pet mammoths! Oh how I would love that.
