Nisar Ahmad Wani carried out the world's first successful camel cloning. Now, his team at the Reproductive Biotechnology Centre, in Dubai, clones camels for ...

“Camels are mentioned in the Quran and described many times as unique compared to other animals, with abilities given by God – like survival without water and food,” Al Falasi says. The two-humped wild Bactrian camel is among the most endangered large mammals on the planet, threatened by habitat loss and interbreeding with domestic camels. “Once activated, they are cultured in a lab for seven to eight days before being transferred to the uterus of a surrogate mother. But they are also a cultural symbol of the traditional Emirati way of life. They have also been able to present bereaved camel owners with a replica of their deceased pet – cell samples can even be taken shortly after the death of the animal. The nucleus from these donor cells is introduced into an egg and activated by chemicals. Today, Wani is scientific director at the Reproductive Biotechnology Centre, in Dubai, and the practice is so popular that cloning has become his nine-to-five job. But the center’s focus is on cloning camels. In addition to featuring in pageants and races, historically these single-hump dromedaries have been used for transport across the harsh deserts of the Arabian Peninsula, as well as a source of meat and milk. For many, they hold spiritual significance as well. But as far as these competitions are concerned, cloned camels are perfectly legitimate.

As one of the world’s best places to live, visit and work, Dubai has become a magnet for international sports stars. Dubai’s popularity as a vacation spot for global sporting stars, underlines its emergence as one of the world’s biggest sports tourism hubs. One of global cricket’s iconic stadiums, the Dubai International Cricket Stadium has played host to many cricketing mega events including the T20 World Cup, the Asia Cup and the IPL.

With pleasant temperatures, world class infrastructure, thrilling settings for fans, and unmatched hospitality and tourism experiences, Dubai is one of the best places to enjoy global sporting action, especially in the cooler months of the year. Over the next decade, sports will make important contributions to realising the goal of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 to make Dubai one of the world’s top three cities. The strategy seeks to double the contribution of the sports sector to Dubai’s GDP from 2% to 4% annually.

Dubai's Reproductive Biotechnology Centre is making headlines for its cloning program that has been producing dozens of cloned dromedary camel calves each ...

“Once activated, they are cultured in a lab for seven to eight days before being transferred to the uterus of a surrogate mother. “Camels are mentioned in the Quran and described many times as unique compared to other animals, with abilities given by God – like survival without water and food,” Al Falasi says. But they are also a cultural symbol of the traditional Emirati way of life. “Traveling and trade between countries and settlements was facilitated by camels, who had the ability to endure the rough climate and survive on very little feed and water.” Camel beauty pageants are popular in the Gulf states and prize money runs into the tens of millions of dollars at some events. They have also been able to present bereaved camel owners with a replica of their deceased pet – cell samples can even be taken shortly after the death of the animal. The process of cloning camels involves transferring the genetic material of the original animal into an egg that has had its genetic material removed. Critics of cloning argue that the practice raises ethical concerns and may have long-term consequences for animal welfare. The entire process takes about a year, and the resulting calf is an exact genetic copy of the original animal. The Reproductive Biotechnology Centre is one of the few facilities in the world that specialises in camel cloning. Since then, the practice has become a regular occurrence, with Wani and his team making clones of not only camels but also sheep and buffalo. However, their primary focus is on cloning camels, particularly those that are considered “beauty queens” because of their unique combination of drooping lips and long necks.

Djokovic's forehand is heavier than Hurkacz's forehand and the 10-time Australian Open champion danced around his backhand to detonate diagonal forehands.
