History of animal testing of visual areas in cats and monkeys, and provided physiological evidence for the critical period for the development of disparity sensitivity in vision (i.e.: the main cue for depth perception), and were awarded a Nobel Prize for their work. In 1996 Dolly the sheep was born, the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell. The process by which Dolly the sheep was cloned utilized a process known as nuclear transfer applied by lead scientist Ian Wilmut. Although other scientists were not immediately able to replicate the experiment, Wilmut argued that the experiment was indeed repeatable, given a timeframe
Patagonia (mammal) as opposed to earlier forest environments in the region. This coincides with "Patagonia"'s burrowing, grazing habits. A large variety of mammal species are known, including caviomorph rodents such as "Dudumus", as well as the rodent-like argyrolagoidean paucituberculates. "Patagonia" likely avoided competition in its fairly specialised niche. Patagonia (mammal) Patagonia is an extinct genus of non-placental mammal from the Miocene of Argentina. Traditionally considered a metatherian "incertae sedis", more recent analysis have shown it to be a gondwanathere. It is the youngest allothere species known. Currently, a single species is known, "P. peregrina", hailing from the Colhuehuapian-dating deposits of the Sarmiento
