This Goat Was Genetically Altered With Spider DNA, and What It Can Do Is Incredible

#1

Randy Lewis, a professor at Utah State University, has created what might be the world's most fascinating creature at the moment. Ladies and gentlemen, we present to youthe spider-goat.

#2

AND THIS IS IT! Just kidding, this is just a spider! Lewis took the genes that create the dragline silk from spiders.

#3

He then put that gene in the DNA of the goat that was in charge of producing milk...so that the goat would effectively produce spider's silk.

#4

They produce a hearty silk when they're all done being "milked." Since silk is very valuable in the medical field, that makes these spider-goats extremely industrious!

#5

And they also happen to be adorable, because...well, because they're goats.

Spider-goat, spider-goat...does what ever a spider-goat does.
