In 2001, the first ever animal was cloned. The name of this cute and adorable kitten is "CC" short for "Carbon Copy.” In 2006, she gave birth to a healthy litter of three. Many scientists have tried cloning dogs, yet in 2003, they were successful with the "Snuppy," the world’s first cloned canine. They use the cloned dogs to sniff out explosives, drugs and other materials. After the success with "CC" and "Snupy", they created Dolly the sheep, who died at the age of six. Once scientists studied this, they proved the fact that it had nothing to do with cloning Dolly. The cloning animals all listed here have a life spand of about twelve years.
