"Breakthrough: Chinese Scientists Develop Monkey with Green Eyes and Glowing Fingertips"

TL;DR Summary
Chinese scientists have successfully created a chimeric monkey with green eyes and glowing fingertips using two sets of DNA from the same monkey species. The experiment, which is still experimental, could have potential benefits for medical research and species conservation. The live birth monkey chimera survived for 10 days before being euthanized. The presence of donated stem cells in the animal ranged from 21% to 92%, with the highest percentage found in brain tissues. Chimeric animals have been used in biomedical research since the 1960s.
