0:59Now PlayingTwo monkeys named Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua have become the first non-human primates to be cloned using the same technique as Dolly the sheep 20 years ago - somatic cell nuclear transfer.
The long-tailed macaques were born several weeks ago in a laboratory in China.
The scientists behind the cloning said the monkeys would be useful for studying diseases, including cancers and immune disorders.
