A Przewalskiโs horse, cloned from the cryopreserved DNA of a stallion collected 42 years ago, will play a crucial role in adding genetic diversity to the endangered species. All Przewalskiโs horses are descended from 12 wild horses. The success at San Diego Zoo demonstrates how advanced reproductive technologies in horses, can be used for phenomenal conservation efforts
