Chinese scientists are the first in the world to clone an Arctic wolf.

The cub was born on June 10, 2022 by order of the Harbin Polar Park. According to Mi Jidong, this achievement was "a breakthrough in the field of protection and breeding of endangered wild animals." At birth, the weight of the wolf cub was 520 grams, and the body length was 22 centimeters. After 11 days, the animal weighed more than a kilogram, after two months - 4.5 kilograms. In the next two or three days, another wolf cub will be born. Individuals bred using cloning technology retain the ability to reproduce and may have offspring.
