# Breeding programmes for rare animals: studbooks and frozen zoos, sentence 11

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
In 2020 a Przewalski's horse foal called Kurt was cloned from cells frozen in 1980, bringing back genes lost from the living herd; a clone has the same genes as the animal whose cells were used, and cloning needs well-kept cells, so a stone fossil cannot be cloned.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** clone, cloning · **What happens:** call, clone, freeze, bring back, lose, have · **To what, where:** horse foal, 2020, cells, 1980, genes, living herd · **Speech:** someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Breeding programmes for rare animals: studbooks and frozen zoos» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (clone, cloning), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
