I know that at the auction they got a little bit. Plus having the buckets out on the table. I say they got a little bit because they needed $12,000 just to get started catching animals to get samples. They have to make sure they are not too closely related or they can't do anything for them. If I remember right they said that all the ones in the zoos are related so that doesn't help any.
