Esfahan (Isfahan), Iran, April 15, 2009--Hana, the first goat cloned in Iran, is seen shortly after birth on Wednesday at the Royan Research Institute. Iran is now the fifth country in the world to have successfully cloned a goat.

Researchers at the institute said their main goal in cloning animals such as goats is to use them to produce human antibodies against diseases, the Associated Press reported.
