Species cloned

The modern cloning techniques involving nuclear transfer have been successfully performed on several species. Landmark experiments in chronological order:
•Tadpole: (1952) Many scientists questioned whether cloning had actually occurred and unpublished experiments by other labs were not able to reproduce the reported results.
•Carp: (1963) In China, embryologist Tong Dizhou cloned a fish. He published the findings in an obscure Chinese science journal which was never translated into English.[5]
•Sheep: (1996) From early embryonic cells by Steen Willadsen. Megan and Morag cloned from differentiated embryonic cells in June 1995 and Dolly the sheep in 1997.
•Rhesus Monkey: Tetra (female, January 2000) from embryo splitting
•Cattle: Alpha and Beta (males, 2001) and (2005) Brazil[6]
•Cat: CopyCat "CC" (female, late 2001), Little Nicky, 2004, was the first cat cloned for commercial reasons
•Mule: Idaho Gem, a john mule born 2003-05-04, was the first horse-family clone.
•Horse: Prometea, a Haflinger female born 2003-05-28, was the first horse clone
