Scientists are studying Dolly the sheep's "siblings" in order to study the health of cloned animals - and resolve a puzzle over whether they age normally. "I'm feeling the joints for any kind of heat or swelling." Veterinary surgeon Dr Sandra Corr puts Daisy the sheep through a very hands-on physical examination. "I'm looking for any signs of crepitus or lameness," she says, "Anything that might indicate the onset of disease or osteoarthritis."
Karl Lagerfeld's pet cat, Choupette, is up there with the all time
greats of the celebrity animal world. Lassie, Bubbles, Flipper, Dolly…
and to prove it she's getting her very own coffee-table tome. The fluffy white feline is to be immortalized in a new book, Choupette:
The Private Life of a High-Flying Fashion Cat, set for release in
September. How, we hear you say, can you squeeze a 128-page book out of one cat?
Pretty easily when it lives the type of lifestyle usually reserved for a
queen.
