They only glow under ultraviolet light though, so unless you have a black light, you'll miss these goats' special ability.

Researchers at Uruguay's Animal Reproduction Institute partnered with the Pasteur Institute of Montevideo to create the first transgenic sheep in Latin America.

Sad…one of the most controversial innovators in science has passed away.

Keith Campbell has died at the age of 58, although the cause of death was not released by the biologist's employer, Nottingham University.

Campbell began researching animal cloning in 1991 and his experiments led to the birth of Dolly, a sheep clone named after Dolly Parton.

After Dolly, the biologist continues his research as a professor at Nottingham University and successfully cloned pigs and lambs.

R.I.P.
