Jurassic World

[Transient]

Not sure how I feel about this:

I was full mast until they said they created a new hybrid dinosaur

I have little interest in this now. I think the verge nailed exactly how I felt: this is just a standard monster movie now.

Honestly it looks awful. I'm upset that they're using outdated models for the dinosaurs too. A lot of science has happened since the first films and it's pretty much concluded that dinosaurs had colorful plumage a lot like the birds of today.

The dude with the bird hat has strong feelings regarding this issue.

rofl totally

its stupid but Ill go see it, I actually liked part 3 tho.

Id rather it was about the dinosaur in sea world looking scene and how they were exceptionally cruel to the dinosaur, like a Jurassic Blackfish..

..rather then the exact same god damned movie they did the first go around... ;p

I am somewhat of an expert

Not about cloning dinosaurs but interesting nonetheless...

Effort To Clone Woolly Mammoth Takes Big Step Forward

Scientists are one step closer to cloning a woolly mammoth, thanks to the results of a new autopsy conducted on a remarkably preserved specimen of the species discovered last year.

The 40,000-year-old mammoth, nicknamed "Buttercup," was found in permafrost on the remote Siberian island of Maly Lyakhovsky. When scientists cut into the carcass, its fresh-looking flesh oozed dark blood, raising hopes that DNA could be extracted.

Scientists believe that the key to cloning the prehistoric beast is finding a complete copy of its DNA. That wasn't found in this case, but the scientists did recover long fragments.

Plans call for researchers from South Korea's Sooam Biotech Research Foundation to analyze tissue samples from the carcass over the next two years, with the hopes of finding an intact genome.

"There is the possibility of finding something that's amazing," Insung Hwang, a Sooam scientist who was involved in the autopsy, told NBC. "We are very hopeful that this mammoth can give us an accurate genomic map that we can use as a template in the future to possibly bring back the mammoth."

Even if researchers turn up empty-handed, some say it may be possible to combine snippets of Buttercup's DNA with elephant DNA to make a mammoth-elephant hybrid that could sport the mammoth's big tusks and its woolly coat, Live Science reported.
