Jerry, No problem, It is good to have to exercise the little grey cells as my favorite Belgian detective always said.
Cloning, if not way improved over the current state of the art, would not really save an endangered species but would introduce and or amplify genetic problems into the population (Xerox copy of a Xerox copy problem... with increasing entropy or "noise.") IF you wanted tiger looking things to put in a zoo then clones that are viable health wise woulld fill the bill but not make good mating partners for preserving the species.
Cloning of indigvidual organs would be a boon to mankind and could perhaps save rhinos. tigers and such animals as as are slaughtered to make hilts for decorative daggers for Arabs or are ground up to make phony "medicines" and aphrodisiacs. You could clone rhino horn and tiger parts and such for the market place to take the pressure off the animals through poaching.
