2002-01-25

Keke is receiving emergency treatment at the Shandong Zhongda Animal Embryo Engineering Center.

  China's second cloned calf, named "Keke" began walking Sunday morning after hours of medical treatment by scientists at the Shandong Zhongda Animal Embryo Engineering Center in Jinan, capital of east China's Shandong Province, according to Monday's China Daily.

  Keke was born at 3:30 pm last Saturday in Jinan through a Caesarean section but initially suffered breathing difficulties.

  Scientists claimed that Keke, thankfully, made its first "moo, moo" sound two minutes later after being born and drunk nearly 2 kilograms of milk within half an hour.
