In his first public statement since collapsing on the set of "Better Call Saul" earlier this week, actor Bob Odenkirk said he had suffered a "small heart attack" but was "going to be OK." The 58-year-old collapsed Tuesday while filming the show's final season, sparking an outpouring of support from colleagues and fans.
"Hi. It's Bob," Odenkirk tweeted. "Thank you. To my family and friends who have surrounded me this week. And for the outpouring of love from everyone who expressed concern and care for me. It's overwhelming. But I feel the love and it means so much." Odenkirk said doctors were able to fix the blockage in his heart without surgery, and that he planned to be "back soon" after taking time to recover.Two more black-footed ferrets have been cloned from the genes used for the first clone of an endangered species in the U.S., bringing to three the number of slinky predators genetically identical to one of the last such animals found in the wild, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced Wednesday.
