Iranian scientists announced on Tuesday that their nation’s first cloned sheep is now fifteen months old and doing well. The sheep is just a test project of the Iranian government.
The big research money is going into making Iraq a clone of Iran.

Iranian scientists said Monday that the country’s first cloned sheep is thriving 15 months after birth, eating well and frolicking among a flock of normal sheep. The cloned male sheep named Royana was born Sept. 30, 2006 in the historic central city of Isfahan, less than two months after the country’s first cloned animal, also a lamb, died within minutes of birth.
