Dolly 
the
sheep, the first adult mammal to be successfully cloned, died in February
2003. When taxidermists finished their work, the body of the preserved
Dolly was put on display at the Royal Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
According
to a report by Reuters, a spokeswoman for the Royal Museum said that Dolly's
“looking great. She’s on all fours and her head is slightly tilted to one
side. She
used to get a lot of human visitors, and that’s the expression she always used
to great them.”
The original
experiment that produced Dolly attempted to clone 276 sheep embryos; Dolly
was the only success. She was born in 1996 and was euthanized in 2003 when
she developed a progressive lung disease.
