    They may clone the bird soon to bring it back to life, by the looks of it we may also see the old mamoths, the giant mastodonts and the unicorn from the Noah's Ark with giant men levitating themselves to catch them.

    Um...people did see Jurassic Park right? I never nor do I believe now that they should mess with this. There is a reason why they are no longer here...before you know it we'll have dinsoaurs roaming around again and they are tough to take care of...crazy! But great article!

    I think the reappearance of Dinosaurs would be a great thing. Also it would help with our current problem of making a few species extinct every day

    That's amazing. It's incredible how far they have managed to take this technology to reconstruct the ecological past.

    If Durasic Park is anything to go upon as they screened Durasic 2 last week around here on HBO via Sattalite from America, Songbird is right, they should not meddle in things like that. You may give that name to a
    property in Queensland's mid north of Australia. There's a property there
    where they are digging up complete dinosaur skeletons all the time. There
    are monster footprints inbedded in roch which are millions of years old and since they found the first dinosaur bones the place has become very
    popular with international tourists. 3/7/2009.
