Dinosaurs Reborn

Most people know anout the classic Jurassic Park movies. And most people have probably thought, how cool would it be if dinosaurs still existed. Well it's not a subject that could remain science "fiction" for long.

Scientist have been working quite closely in this field. An example is there are plans of placing preserved Wolly Mammoth DNA in an elephant so the elephant gives birth to a "new" species. Think about that, pretty cool. But in a world where polar bears are becoming extinct I'm not so sure a wolly mammoth is the greatest idea.

But if one was to combine that kind of technology with another species we could get some interesting results, or some monstrous results. Because I'm not sure what would give birth to a T-rex. A gorilla? A feret? A lizard? So maybe its less possible than originally thought. Because an elephant and a wolly mammoth are very similar species so one birthing another is possible. With most other dinos a different strategy would have to be in place, if any.

Still, if we did have dinosaurs it wouldn't be like an apocalypse. Obviously we would have some sort of control over them like in jurassic park. Although they had a way of controlling them and it still went wrong. So maybe we stick with the nice dinos, non-human eating ones yes? Sounds good to me.
