Currently 8 cloned North American wolves have been transferred to the wildlife protection center in Pyeongtaek, south of Seoul.

Hwang Woo-suk revealed, he successfully cloned 8 North American wolves by transferring the human Soma cell (body cell) a wolf into the female wolf's egg.

The first wolf was born on June 17, 2005 at the Sooam Biotechnology Research Fund.

These eight North American wolves are the first North American wolves in the world to be cloned using cells.

Hwang became famous when he published a scientific paper that published the successful study of human cloned human clones in 2004. But in November 2005, he was accused of falsifying. By 2009, he was sentenced to two years in jail for embezzling research funds and wronged research ethics. Last December he was reduced to 18 months suspended.

However, his success in North American wolf cloning in 2005 was verified by local experts and authorities.

Gyeonggi Province is planning to donate a number of North American wolves cloned to zoos in foreign countries in an effort to contribute to the conservation of endangered animals.
