Can We Build A Real Jurassic Park?

It's the question on all our minds: WHEN IS JURASSIC PARK HAPPENING?! With all this talk of cloning extinct species and the upcoming twentieth anniversary of Jurassic Park the movie, Anthony takes a look at one man's plan to actually build a real life Jurassic Park... sort of.

"I don't know would you like to set foot in a theme park with animatronic dinosaurs?" ugh, HELL YEAH 😆

[josha]

Bringing back dinosaurs may be out of the question, but genetically modifying existing bird species to LOOK like dinosaurs is still a possibility. I have not given up hope on someday being eviscerated by a raptor...

[itsnouse-yourswillbeastill]

How bout robot raptors aboard the new titanic?

[AngelicaSpyro]

Yes, yes I would see robot dinosaurs.

[aSStronaut]

I have an idea, okay so dinosaurs evolved from birds, right? And birds like ostriches and emus and such already move like raptors and theropod dinosaurs and have necks similar to them. The good thing is that when animals evolve the genes from the ancestors are often left behind in the recessive parts of the genome which actually makes up over 80% of the entire genome, so we should be able to find numerous recessive traits left behind from dinosaurs and be able to identify them. Then all we need to do is activate those recessive genes like for teeth and for digesting meat and such, and keep the already dinosaur like traits and you have yourself a feathered raptor dinosaur.

I'd be down for them cloning the Dodo bird.

I wanna see them ;3

[RC-jkbj]

i saw Jurassic world about a week ago like if you saw it

[thestargamer]

Wats worst than a dinosaur running free in a theme park?





TWO dinosaurs running free in a theme park! :)

All the DNA is gone- even in those perfect conditions, it only lasts 6 million years. There's nothing to string together at this point. :( -Anthony

[Seeker]

There's no DNA left! It's blanks all the way down, dogg. -Anthony

[CRUELLANDER]

8 years later and we still don't have any Dinosaurs or Jurassic Parks going on really which is quite sad

[Seeker]

Right? Get it together, science. -Anthony

[JuliaTDRunner]

This guy makes the best ideas ever!
I would see all the dinosaurs in his theme park :-) I recently went to an expo where there were robot dinosaurs that you could pet, and it was amazing :-)
I'd also take a voyage on his Titanic. I love the Titanic. She was a beautiful ship, and so full of history. She had the best engineering at the time, and was even above and beyond for safety and luxery.

Tell me more about this... "moo-see-am." -Anthony

[LadyLunarella]

yeah I would. I remember my parents taking me to one similar but idk. I remember robot dino's a lot but they only moved theyre heads and stayed put...

[ombreloup]

so "Five nights at Jurassic park "

[SailorBarsoom]

"I don't know would you like to set foot in a theme park full of robot dinosaurs?"

Kind of like asking if I'd want to go into space on a Lofstrom Loop or ride in a totally self-driving car: I don't want to be the FIRST person to do it, but when a few thousand other people have done it and it's OK, then sure.

I used to watch a show on Discovery about scientists creating dinos...It wasn't much like JP but it was pretty impressive. It was really a show on how it could be done along with a storyline of some sort...I don't remember the name, but it was a pretty cool show :/
it brought my hopes up

[LucasAndrew]

Giant robot dinosaurs? Reminds me of that Pokemon episode with the giant Pokemon theme park. They were robots, right? I think they were, can't remember for sure. Also I'm not gonna Google it for reasons unknown. I'm not gonna blame it on laziness, there's no effort involved in Googling it, laziness isn't the issue there, it's closer to stubbornness. I hate it when people put off things like that and say 'can't be bothered' or 'I'm lazy'. It's almost as if laziness is a trend that people enjoy.
