China's Cloned Goat Has Granddaughter
Yangyang, one of China's first group of cloned goats had a granddaughter delivered by her daughter, Qingqing, at a university in northwest China's Shaanxi Province recently.

According to experts, Qingqing became pregnant after a natural mating with an Angora goat and gave birth naturally to a kid, Tiantian.

A veterinary examination found her 2.8-kilogram baby was healthy and it stood up and walked in 20 minutes.

"The birth of Qingqing and Tiantian proves that the first cloned goat and its offspring have normal reproductive abilities," said Wang Qianghua, professor of the Northwest China Science and Technology University for Agriculture and Forestry.

Yangyang, who was born in June 2000, has given birth to twins of different genders in August 2001 and in February this year.

Yangyang and her offspring are under close medical scrutiny by Chinese scientists.
