Ibex

The Pyrenean ibex (Capra pyrenaica pyrenaica) is a species of mountain goat native to Spain and France. Declared a protected species in 1973, twenty years later there were only 10 animals left and the species went extinct in 2000.Telegraph: Extinct ibex is resurrected by cloning (January 31, 2009)

Using frozen skin cells from the ear of the last known ibex and inserting them into the egg cells of domestic goats, scientists successfully cloned a live ibex-goat hybrid. It was the first time an extinct animal has been cloned.Telegraph: Extinct ibex is resurrected by cloning (January 31, 2009) Researchers announced on January 31, 2009, that the newborn ibex died of lung deformities after just seven minutes of life.Independent: Cloned goat dies after attempt to bring species back from extinction (February 3, 2009)
