A show animal is created

SeaWorld recently made a scientific breakthrough when the San Diego location successfully reproduced a penguin through artificial insemination. At just 12 weeks old, she is the first of any penguin species to be reproduced in this way. This is being noted as a major stride in conservation efforts that scientists are hoping will help threatened or endangered species in the wild. "Artificial insemination and semen preservation allows us to maximize the genetic diversity of these populations, and that means that they remain healthy and stable into the future," said one of the researchers at the SeaWorld Reproductive Research Center, Justine O'Brien. This new method has the potential to ensure future generations of beautiful creatures, all with a little help from science and technology. But knowing SeaWorld, most of them are just going to be used in shows or otherwise exploited. Just stay away from that sausage-fest.
