Can it be real? Has anyone tried?

Could Jurassic Park ever really happen? How much of what you saw in Jurassic Park can be considered real? Discuss all of that and more here...

Nope sorry mate but 65 million years is to long and if I'm not mistaken there was no ice back then except where dinos didn't go even antarctica froze but thawed as summer came around.

There is acutally this mummified dinosaur from Montana that I remembered reading about a couple years ago. The article is dated, but I'm sure you can find more recent stories about it if you looked.

Now that is really a nice find man that will really help understand the anatomy of at least that species.

I'd like to know where that looney found enough DNA.

Komodo dragon = really big monitor lizard. Lizards are not crocodile/bird hybrids.

Back in 01, they found a mammoth's DNA, but of they cloned it, it would've lived a year:tops. It would be cool if they could actually do what they did in Jurassic Park besides the part about everyone dying.

They are in siberia or somewhere around there, Japanese scientists are building and ice age park and have populated it wiith the kinds of animals that were alive back than and are still alive today, they are also working on cloning mammoths and I bet they're looking for wooly rhinos and other animals that were alive then.

Yeah I hope so, if it does then maybe we can repopulate the planet with those animals but they will be genetically limited because so few intact specimens are found. As far as dinos go though if we ever have dinosaurs alive again it's because we created them, they'll be totally synthetic as in they never lived before.
