Mouflon birth of an exotic animal such as the mouflon. If cloning of the mouflon can proceed successfully, it has the potential to reduce strain on the number of living specimens. Mouflon The mouflon ("Ovis orientalis orientalis" group) is a subspecies group of the wild sheep ("Ovis orientalis"). Populations of "O. orientalis" can be partitioned into the mouflons ("orientalis" group) and the urials ("vignei" group).

Wild horse The wild horse ("Equus ferus") is a species of the genus "Equus", which includes as subspecies the modern domesticated horse ("Equus ferus caballus") as well as the undomesticated tarpan ("Equus ferus ferus", now extinct), and the endangered Przewalski's horse ("Equus ferus przewalskii"). Przewalski's horse had reached the brink of extinction but was reintroduced successfully back into the wild. The tarpan became extinct in the 19th century,
