In 1995, the first mammal was successfully cloned! Scientists cloned a domestic sheep while they used nuclear transfer – whatever that means. But why should we care? Because they named the sheep after Dolly! Ian Wilmut, the man who cloned the sheep, explained, “Dolly is derived from a mammary gland cell and we couldn’t think of a more impressive pair of glands than Dolly Parton’s.”
