| | Endangered African Wildcat Clones Produce Kittens; Audubon Nature Institute of New Orleans Announces Unprecedented ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Audubon's highly successful program with Mississippi sandhill cranes, where birds are artificially inseminated, hatched out and hand-reared before release into the wild, has led to a similar chick program with endangered whooping cranes at the center. |
 | | Audubon Nature Institute is a New Orleans-based not-for-profit which operates ten facilities: Audubon Center for Research of Endangered Species, Freeport McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center, Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, Audubon Zoo, Audubon Park, Woldenberg Riverfront Park, Wilderness Park, Audubon Louisiana Nature Center and the soon-to-open Audubon Insectarium. |
 | | The Audubon births are the first time any two wild species clones have reproduced naturally, and the first time two cloned animals of any cat species, either wild or domestic, have reproduced naturally. |
