Scientific success has added to the growing list of animals that have been genetically engineered from adult cells, including Dolly the sheep, fish, pigs, goats, cattle, mice and even an ox-like creature called a gaur. From Ruby Puppy to genetically modified dog Tagon, here are some really strange creatures that glow in the dark.
A transgenic lamb, that has an incorporated gene that makes it glow under ultraviolet light, is seen in this picture taken on April 5, 2013 and released by the Animal Reproduction Institute Uruguay (IRAUy).
According to the institute, this is the first time that transgenic lambs have been produced in Latin America.
A genetically engineered Convict Cichlids (Amatitlania nigrofasciata) glows in a plastic bag inside a water tank during a new conference in Taipei, October 28, 2010. The news conference was held to promote the upcoming 2010 Taiwan International Aquarium Expo which will be held at Taipei World Trade Centre from October 29 to November 1.
