Five dog-shaped robots have been programmed in such a way that they exhibit hybrid behavior of various different animals and combine a variety of external physical features. “Copycat,” for example, is 50% dog, 50% cat; “Dolly” is an amalgam of external and internal characteristics: 50% dog, 30% goat, 15% cow and 5% sheep. An ironic demonstration of the potential consequences of cloning and animal experimentation.
