Why all the cheetahs are clones?
605018
Cheetahs aren't clones.  They are, however, genetically very similar to each other, more so than most other species.  In fact, there is so little variation among cheetahs that tissue can be grafted from one cheetah to any other cheetah and they won't reject it, even without the immunosupressent drugs given to human transplant patients.  But there is a little genetic variation.\n\nThe lack of genetic variability among cheetahs is the result of something that biologists refer to as the founders effect.  This occurs as the result of a population bottleneck, when most of the population disappears as the result of a natural disaster, or a change in environmental conditions that most individuals are not able to survive.  This is what happened to cheetahs at some point in relatively recent history.  The cheetah population was reduced to just a handful of individuals.\n\nOver time, the species either dies out entirely, or makes a comeback.  In the case of cheetahs, they came back.  However, all the cheetahs in existences today decended from this small number of individuals several generations ago.  That means that all modern cheetahs are closely related.  It's sort of like they're all cousins.  That's why there is so little genetic variation among cheetahs.\n\nOf course, there's also the theory that it's all a big government cover-up :)

There is no proven connection at this time, hence it being a "theory." There are definite similarities, like we share 93% of the same genetic similarities with orangutans.

I think it stems from the fact that imperfect creatures, who were made in the likeness of another imperfect being, gaining the same knowledge of that imperfect being. Therefore, all of existence is flawed.

Cloning should not be legal. My reason is because God made each person unique in there own way, because he did not want people to be the same.Cloning makes an exact replica of a person or an animal, and god does not want that.

What an odd question. They come from variations of a dog-like species that evolved. What exactly are you asking?

when human clone they would tend to think that the creation theory does not exists and therefor do away with it. The people who clone only do this for they own selfish gains which is a very bad thing and a threat to our society

Aren't we the same?  We're animals that inhabit this planet, the same as many others.  What sets humans apart?  The idea that we have a soul?  That is very debatable and has never been proven or disproven to exist but the same could be said for animals possessing souls.  The fact that many believe that only humans have souls only proves that our egos WANT to believe ourselves somehow better.  In many ways we are superior to the other animals, hence our dominance of the planet.  But also in many ways we are far inferior to other animals.  So where is the balance?

Maybe you can understand it if I put it this way as an EXAMPLE  Pure bred dogs and cats all look alike right, Mutts come in many mutations. Not saying anyone is a animal or one is better than another just the difference in DNA variations.

It is the sole reason for such diversity in the human species. It is the reason why siblings, even identical twins, eventually diverge into their own personalities. Since no two individuals have the exact same neurological framework, no two individuals in this world are the same. Even clones would not grow up to be exactly alike since the external environment plays a role in building neuron connections.

There are also polar bear/brown bear hybrids, as well as hybrids between Asian and African elephants.  These elephant hybrids are of exceptional interest because this hybridization is not only across species but across GENUS.  Artificial processes have produced geeps and cammas.  Geeps are a cross between goats and sheep, and cammas are crosses between llamas and camels.  Hybrids between one-humped dromedaries and two-humped Bactrian camels also exist.  Additionally beefalo are crosses between cattle and American bison, coydogs and coywolves are crosses between coyotes and dogs or wolves, and wolf-dogs are self explanitory.  Leopons are leopard/lion crosses, and jaglions are jaguar/lion crosses.  Pumapards are the result of cougar and leopard matings.  Caracals and servals (both are long-legged african cats) can also hybridize.  Domestic cats can hybridize with most small wild cat species.  There are also numerous intraspecies hybrids, such as Amur/Bengal tigers and Borneo/Sumatran orangutans.  Many closely related parrot species also hybridize, as well as closely related frog species, and closely related fish species.  Bass frequently hybridize in the wild, and mallard ducks mate with numerous duck species.  Chinese geese, greylag geese, and domestic geese need no captive situations to hybridize, as well.  Nor do wild boars and domestic pigs.  Whitetail deer have been known to hybridize with mule deer.  Most tragelaphines (African spiral-horned antelope) hybridize frequently in captivity.  The usual offspring are lesser kudu/sitatunga, lesser kudu/bushbuck, sitatunga/bushbuck, and sitatunga/bongo.  The acheivement of producing an elu (eland/greater kudu cross) was especially important.  Elands can hybridize with cattle, so the elu exposed the close relationship antelope have with cows.  Spider monkeys can also hybridize between species.  Well, those are all the hybrids I can think of right now.  I hope that helps! ^_^

-It is the fastest of all terrestrial animals and can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h (62 mph) in short bursts.they'd beat the fastest dogs\n\n-Black "tear marks," which run from the corner of its eyes down the sides of the nose to its mouth\nThe fur of the cheetah is yellow with round black spots, which help to camouflage it, and distinctive black tear lines on the sides of the muzzle. The cheetah’s coat is tan, or buff colored, with black spots measuring from ¾ to 1¼ inches across (2–3 cm). There are no spots on its white belly, and the tail has spots which merge to form four to six dark rings at the end. The cheetah's tail usually ends in a bushy white tuft. Cheetahs also have a rare fur pattern mutation: cheetahs with larger, blotchy, merged spots are known as 'King Cheetahs'.\n\n-Unlike true big cats, cheetahs can purr as they inhale, but cannot roar. By contrast, lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars can roar but cannot purr, except while exhaling\n\n-Cheetah cubs have a high mortality rate due to genetic factors and predation by carnivores in competition with the cheetah, such as the lion and hyena. Some biologists now believe that they are too inbred to flourish as a species.Cheetahs were formerly, and are sometimes still hunted because many farmers believe that they eat livestock\n\n-Cheetahs are carnivores, eating mostly mammals under 40 kg (90 lb), including Thomson's gazelles, and impala. Wildebeest and calves are hunted when cheetahs hunt together. Guinea fowl and hares are also hunted. While the other big cats mainly hunt by night, the cheetah is a diurnal hunter. It hunts usually either early in the morning or later in the night when it is not so hot, but there is still enough light - cheetahs hunt by vision rather than by scent. Prey is stalked to within ten to thirty meters (30-100 ft), then chased. Using their tails to maintain balance, cheetahs can make sharp turns if needed. The chase is usually over in less than a minute and if the cheetah fails to make a quick catch, it will often give up rather than waste energy. Another reason a cheetah may give up is because running at such high speeds puts a great deal of strain on the cheetah's body. The temperature within the cheetah reaches such high temperatures that it would be deadly to continue - this is why cheetahs are often seen resting even after they have caught their prey. Roughly half of their chases are successful. The cheetah kills its prey by tripping it during the chase, then biting it on the underside of the throat to suffocate it, for the cheetah is not strong enough to break the necks of the gazelles it mainly hunts. Then the cheetah proceeds to devour its catch as quickly as possible, for it is unable to defend itself against lions and hyenas.

These new breeds of cats are not new species. All cats still belong to Felix domesticus, and can interbreed a Persian to a Siamese etc... If the breeder was to create a cat that could no longer breed with another cat, but only its new "breed" to create a viable offspring, than I believe it would be considered evolution.

like die?  Transplants can only be done between creatures with similar dna.

Is this what cloning basically is? Asexual reproduction? And are we headed toward making a "perfect" species?  \n*** does this mean humans will become extinct in the not too distant future?

What if they werent clones? What if it were all the work of the original?\n    I think I would find that far more amusing than random people cloning him
775412
why would you want to clone him... dont we have to many dumb fat  bastards in this country who think they are better then they are?  i mean .. come on... what does he doe that a retarded monkey cant do?

There used to be more than one species of humans but they died out. Technically there are animals that are our species like chimps, but are not humans. Some researches even believe we should be part of the same genus as well. All dogs are one species just different breeds like we have different races.  There are probably so many species of frogs because they can all cohabitate on the earth without interfering with each other and killing each other off.
