Dallas Zoo plans embryo transplant DALLAS (AP) — The embryo of a zebra-like animal will be implanted into the womb of a giraffe in what Dallas Zoo officials say will be a his toric experiment. Ron Kagan, the zoo’s director of mammals, said, “It can be very sig nificant.” Plans call for the implantation of the embryo of an okapi, an animal that is less threatened than some other species but which has disap peared from some of its native jun gles in Zaire, Africa. If successful, the implantation would produce a newborn okapi de livered from a giraffe within 15 months. Officials say that the Dallas experiment, combined with research that other zoos have done in similar efforts, could lead to a nationwide embryo implantation program for endangered species. “That’s if everything works, which is a big if," Kagan said. Zoo spokesman Victoria Furber said in at least one U.S. city, embryo transfers have ignited protest from religious groups that view the proce dure as “something against nature.” But the procedure is being viewed by some conservation groups as a promising way to increase the num ber of births of endangered animals. In the case of the okapi, possibly only a few hundred or few thousand of the mammals remain in Zaire. Wildlife experts say there are only about 60 okapis in captivity, with about 21 in the United States. There are seven apiece in the Dallas Zoo and Chicago’s Brookfield Zoo. The rest are in zoos in San Diego, Okla homa City and Colorado Springs. Dr. Bonnie Rafael, zoo veterinar ian and coordinator of the project, said the zoo hopes to transfer an em bryo from a resident okapi to a gi raffe within two to six months. Kagan said that in recent years, embryo transfers have been accom plished several times with endan gered species and domestic animals at U.S. zoos, but it’s only been done on a very few animals. About five years ago, a Holstein cow implanted with the embryo of a Gaur cow, a species of Indian wild cattle, successfully gave birth at the Bronx Zoo in New York, officials said. lunts’ lawyers say they’re tot shopping for a judge £] tAMU h Physicil I' Plant tv.-V‘ DUi Shall DALLAS (AP) — Lawyers for iree of the billionaire Hunt broth- Bold a federal judge Wednesday -■they were not “shopping for a ivorable judge” when they filed mkiuptcy petitions in New Orleans perthan in Dallas. Peiitions were filed under Chap- lll of the federal bankruptcy <■ Friday in New Orleans for the tints’ Placid Oil Co. — one of the |d’s largest privately-owned oil impanies —a Placid Oil subsidiary, tda personal trust of William Her- JjHunt, one of the brothers. Pfe, Nelson Bunker Hunt and La- jHunt were ordered by U.S. Dis- ttjudge Barefoot Sanders to show tythe bankruptcy filings shouldn’t transferred to Dallas. The Hunts have filed a $14 billion ■against 23 banks, claiming the iks were out to destroy Placid and |od Drilling Co., one of the I’s largest drilling companies. The bankruptcy petitions were ■ to stave off foreclosure by the |s, which are owed $1.5 billion, ■l assets for all three entities laced in bankruptcy were estimated I $2.18 billion, with liabilities of 119 billion, according to court f il- Wednesday’s arguments centered on a Julv 28 order from Sanders stating that the suits should be filed in Dallas. Lawyers for the Hunts contend the order did not cover bankruptcy petitions. Stephen Gordon, a Boston laywer representing the Hunts, told Sand ers on Wednesday that “this is not a case of forum shopping for a favor able judge . . . who knows my name.” Gordon and another Hunt attor ney, Ben Krage of Dallas, argued that the bulk of Placid’s assets lie in the Eastern Judicial District of Loui siana and that the Hunts have a right to choose where they want their bankruptcy case heard. New evidence may lead to freedom for TDC inmate HUNTSVILLE (AP) — Death row inmate Clarence Brandley, convicted of raping and killing a 16-year-old girl at Conroe High School in 1980, said Wednesday he is hopef ul new evidence in his case will lead to his freedom. Brandley, 34, was sentenced to death after he was convicted of killing Cheryl Dee Fergeson on Aug. 23, 1980. The new evidence came from the testimony of a Conroe woman, Brenda Medina, who tes tified last month that her former boyfriend, James Dexter Robin son, told her he had killed a girl at Conroe High School. Robinson acknowledged making the statement, but insisted he made up the story to frighten Medina. Brandley said he was surprised by the Medina testimony. Brandley also said he believes the fact he is black had much to do with his arrest and conviction. “I was at the wrong place at the wrong time,” he said. “I was more convenient for them to convict.” i}e
