<P> Zhong Zhong ( Chinese : 中 中 ; pinyin : Zhōng Zhōng , born 27 November 2017 ) and Hua Hua ( Chinese : 华 华 ; pinyin : Huá Huá , born 5 December 2017 ) are a pair of identical crab - eating macaques ( also referred to as cynomolgus monkeys ) that were created through somatic cell nuclear transfer ( SCNT ) , the same cloning technique that produced Dolly the sheep in 1996 . They are the first cloned primates produced by this technique . Unlike previous attempts to clone monkeys , the donated nuclei came from fetal cells , not embryonic cells . The primates were both born at the Institute of Neuroscience of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai . </P>
