United Arab Emirates ? A scientist says the world’s first cloned camel has been produced in the desert emirate of Dubai.

Nisar Ahmad Wani, a senior reproductive biologist at the government’s Camel Reproduction Center, says the cloned camel is a six-day-old, one-humped female called Achievement or Injaz in Arabic.

Injaz was born April 8 after an uncomplicated gestation of 378 days, the center said in a press release Tuesday. The center said she was created from cells harvested from an ovary of an adult female camel.

Camels are a valuable commodity in the Persian Gulf.
