The Pyrenean ibex, a form of wild mountain goat, was officially declared 
  extinct in 2000 when the last-known animal of its kind was found dead in 
  northern Spain.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/science/sciencenews/4409958/Extinct-ibex-is-resurrected-by-cloning.html"><P>
Shortly before its death, scientists preserved skin samples of the goat, a 
  subspecies of the Spanish ibex that live in mountain ranges across the 
  country, in liquid nitrogen.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/science/sciencenews/4409958/Extinct-ibex-is-resurrected-by-cloning.html"><P>
Using DNA taken from these skin samples, the scientists were able to replace 
  the genetic material in eggs from domestic goats, to clone a female Pyrenean 
  ibex, or bucardo as they are known. It is the first time an extinct animal 
  has been cloned.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/science/sciencenews/4409958/Extinct-ibex-is-resurrected-by-cloning.html"><P>
But the breakthrough has raised hopes that it will be possible to save 
  endangered and newly extinct species by resurrecting them from frozen 
  tissue.
