Spider-Goats: Seriously fucking with nature
This shit is just wack....
Quote:
Scientists at Nexia Biotechnologies in Montreal have discovered what happens when you cross a spider with a goat. The answer: a stronger bulletproof vest. The company has bred dairy goats with a spider in order to produce a unique protein. This protein will be extracted from the milk to produce silk fibers, called BioSteel, for bulletproof vests, medical supplies and space equipment.....
In January, Nexia announced the birth of two "BioSteel Goats" named Webster and Peter, the first goats confirmed to carry a single spider silk gene. On June 19, 150 of these genetically altered goats arrived at a former Air Force base in Plattsburgh, N.Y., where they will be housed in 15 old weapons-storage buildings that have been converted to holding pens, reports the Plattsburgh Press-Republican.
