Great news!
Through DNA recovery, zoologists were able to clone a Hairless Plaidodon (distant cousin of the Common Plaidodon and Wooly Plaidodon) from frozen tissue samples taken from a nearly intact male found buried deep beneath a parking lot in Kirkwall. The find was uncovered by archaeologists looking for buried knights (see related post elsewhere on XMTS) and turned over to the zoology department of the University of Aberdeen, where the recovery effort far exceeded expectations.
University officials hope to clone enough animals to eventually reintroduce them into the wilds of Scotland, or at least turn a few sample animals over to Robert at RKilts for leather kilt research.
