NFL superstar Tom Brady has revealed the strange reason his new dog looks similar to his previous pooch. The 7-time Super Bowl winner says the uncanny likeness is because his puppy Junie (above right) is a clone of his pit bull mix Lua (above left), who passed away two years ago. Lua was cloned by the biotech firm Colossal Bioscience, which is most famous for its attempts to bring the woolly mammoth out of extinction. However, experts say that cloning your family pet might not be worth the eye-watering $50,000 price tag. Scientists say that even though a cloned animal may look similar, it will never be identical to the original. That’s because an animal's traits are not 100% determined by the genes it's born with. More worrying, experts say, is that cloned dogs are more susceptible to disease and a shortened lifespan. Fans of Brady have taken to social media to express their opinions, and most of them have been extremely critical.
