A ground-breaking achievement has been announced as a first in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.). Dubai has finally claimed their home-grown version of Dolly the Sheep! The first cloned camel was born on April 8 2009 in Dubai's Camel Reproduction Center. Named as Injaz, the first cloned camel was female and she is a product of a five year long intensive research by the Camel Reproduction Centre and the Central Veterinary Laboratory in U.A.E. The scientific director of the Camel Reproduction Centre Lulu Skidmore was jubilant about this progress. Skidmore thought that "This significant breakthrough in our research program gives a means of preserving the valuable genetics of our elite racing and milk-producing camels in the future." Dubai scientists expect that Injaz will live longer than Dolly the Sheep who was born in Edinburgh in 1996, but only lived for 6 years.
