SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): The company behind a giant meatball made from flesh cultivated using the DNA of the extinct woolly mammoth is planning to launch cultivated quail meat in Singapore.

Tim Noakesmith, the founder of Australian alternative protein start-up Vow, told The Straits Times that the company has experimented with a series of exotic and unusual laboratory-cultured meats – alpaca, kangaroo, peacock, crocodile, and even those that are a hybrid of different species.
