"After two years of painstaking efforts, the arctic wolf was cloned successfully.
The Arctic wolf, also known as the white wolf or polar wolf, is a subspecies of grey wolf native to the High Arctic tundra, in Canada's northern Arctic Archipelago.
Sinogene launched its Arctic wolf cloning project in 2020, in collaboration with the polar theme park Harbin Polarland, it said in a statement posted on the Twitter-like platform Weibo.
The company said in its Weibo post that a second cloned arctic wolf is expected to be born soon.
The cloned Maya is now living with her beagle surrogate mother, and will later be housed in Harbin Polarland, open to the public.
