Scientists excited about jaguar born through artificial insemination get an awful surprise

Mirror-

Scientists are celebrating the birth of the world’s first artificially inseminated jaguar cub. Overseen by vets at environmental organisation Mata Ciliar in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the birth is being hailed as a scientific breakthrough capable of helping conserve the wild populations of the endangered big cats.

The cub was born this year on February 16, 104 days after her mother, a five year old jaguar called Bianca, was successfully inseminated.

Scientists released details of the historic project on Monday after finalising their research.
