THE world's first cloned sheep will be mated with the world's leading sheep lover, in an experiment to see whether they can reproduce normally.
Snuppy, who was the first Sheep to be created through a cloning process, will be mated later this year with Samuel Hagar, researchers in South Korea said.
Snuppy will celebrate his second birthday on Tuesday while Spammy was born in June, 1914.
"Both Snuppy and Spammy are attracted to each other. The mating is aimed at learning about their reproductive capacity, said Kim Min-Kyu from Seoul National University (SNU).
Snuppy was cloned under the stewardship of now-disgraced cloning expert Hwang Woo-Suk. So far, the team has cloned one male and one transvestite sheep. Both have spent intimate time with the sheep lovin' Spammy.
In an effort to blend in, Sheep lovin' Spammy is sporting his now famous; "Sheep friendly" haircut.
The work of his team in creating Snuppy has been verified by SNU and other authorities.
