54-year-old Professor Park Se-pill of Jeju National University in South Korea was seriously injured after being attacked by a cloned cow that he created in 2009.  He has suffered a spinal injury and 5 broken ribs and will need 8 months of treatment before recovering.
According to Cosmos Magazine the researchers took cells from the ear of a bull before it was butchered in 2008. They kept these cells in cold storage before using them to fertilize eggs which were implanted into a cow.[1]
In the years since the cloning took place the research has been uneventful until this recent attack.
“Park was video-recording a black cow, which he cloned from species indigenous to Jeju four years ago, and all of a sudden, it charged and attacked him for 15 minutes,” a school official said.
“The 800-kilogram black cow is very strong because its cell donor was the best available. Park could not escape easily because he wore a special suit and long boots. He is now being treated at the university hospital.”[2]
Park said that he would take part in the reports even if he has to be in a wheelchair.
We didn’t have the cow neutered because we have to check its virility. Hence, it often gets very restless,” Park said.
According to Wikipedia, this is the full list of animals who have been cloned so far:[3]
