MemberCompsognathusFebruary 22, 2013Have you ever finished one of the jurassic park movies and ever thought "wow what if jurassic park was real" well it could be. now that does sound far fetched but when Michael Crichton wrote the first jp he wasn't far off. but first let me tell you why using the amber technique wouldn't work when blood is held for a long time it begins to decompose and is no longer useable but by using a different technique you can get still get some DNA let me list the ways: 1 by grinding the bones you can get some DNA (not a lot) 2 if a dinosaurs fossil was well preserved some nutrients/DNA from the dinosaur will be preserved 3 if a dinosaur was frozen in ice or stuckin a bog it'll probably be well preserved enough to get DNA. now you cant use a frog (well you could you'd just get a man eating frog/tyrannosaur that hops around and eats flys) so another thing you can use is a chicken by filling in the gaps with chicken DNA and then inserting it into a chicken embryo you'd get a basic theropod ( walks on 2 legs) chicken/Dino hybrid now you have to keep breeding the results and you'll most likely end up with a carnivorous dinosaur.
now to get a basic sauropod (walks on 4 legs) its a lot more complicated and takes more DNA manipulating you'd have to use a different animal you could still use chicken you just have to genetically alter it to walk on four legs and repeat breeding
now the million doller question is should we? well thats for you to choose not me. just consider what ingen went threw it would be highly expensive to stable and feed these. but how cool would it be to have a pet parasaurlophus or raptor in your backyard?
