First ferret babies born from a clone bring new hope for their species

A man wearing blue gloves and pictured from the neck-down holds a baby ferret in each hand. The critters are about twice the length of the man's palms, and have brownish white fur with black feet and black patches over their eyes.

Sibert and Red Cloud, black-footed ferret siblings at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute, are the first members of an endangered species born to a cloned animal.
