Two banteng clones were born to Angus cows on April 1 and 3, 2003, as a result of a cross-continental collaboration involving the Zoological Society of San Diego, a Massachusetts laboratory and an Iowa biotechnology firm. The banteng is a wild bovine species from the forests of Southeast Asia and is closely related to the domesticated cow. The calves in Iowa are genetically identical to a male banteng who died at the San Diego Wild Animal Park in 1980 without producing offspring. The birth of these two youngsters represents an important scientific step towards developing techniques that increase the genetic population of endangered species.
