Endangered Kittens Born Using In-Vitro Fertilization

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
I've never even heard of these cats before: African Black-Footed Cats

But they are an endangered species and they were able to successfully make babies using in-vitro fertilization. This is a huge step for saving all endangered species, not just cats.

Of course the one picture they have in the article is beyond adorable.

It's good to remember that even with all the horrible things happening in the world there are still small victories.

I needed a little more kitten in my day so I did a search and sure enough came up with a 2:26 video. OK, so the woman talks about their "frozen zoo" longer than they show the babies, but they do show a couple of still shots and then the little ones getting checked by a TED (The Evil Doctor ). Poor little guys are just scared to death - they look like little feral cats. Only tinier.

Click the video, then click the top link in the list on the right to add it to your "playlist" and get it to play.
