The last naturally born Pyrenean ibex, a 13-year-old female that scientists named Celia, was found mortally wounded in northern Spain on January 6, 2000, trapped beneath a fallen tree. Before Celia died, though, scientists were able to collect skin cells from her ear and preserve them in liquid nitrogen
