GOLD COAST, Australia (AP) - Scientists on Monday unveiled three test tube baby koalas produced with new artificial insemination technology designed to ensure the species' survival.
Three of the eight koalas, all born on the Gold Coast in Queensland state, made their first public appearance at a local wildlife sanctuary. They are between 10 and 12 months old.
They were conceived using new breeding techniques, which involve mixing sperm with a special solution that prolongs its shelf life.
