Starring: Jack Horner

[ImTheMan]

"we can make a glow in the dark unicorn" wtf is even life anymore.

[Spinnekk]

Yes, please bring back dinosaurs in some form...  That would be amazing!

[LiberaLib]

without subtitles i can't understand anything the dinosaurs are saying, though.

[claireng.]

i laughed so hard at the glowing unicorn part lIKE ARE U SERIOUS then i realzied yes he was serious.

[CoLeMaWeSoMe]

Half t-Rex, half t-Rex. Perfect killer, massive bone crushing tyrannosaurus like jaws.

[AlexLusth]

Ive been hyped for the chickenosaurous for a few years now, tell me where to throw my money!!!

[justinhd]

Glow in the dark unicorns... yes please.

[calibribody]

hang on, you know were to get a horn from NARWHALS NARWHALS SWIMMING IN THE OCEAN CAUSING A COMMOTION!

[s.storumus]

It started with Tyrannosaur DNA, not Therizinasaurus

[LordTwaddle]

Those arms look more like other therizinosaurs rather than the main one with huge claws. It would look silly with claws that big

[PT]

Didn't they say there's zero chance of getting a dinosaur DNA since its half life is only 60, 000 years or something and they've been extinct for millions of years?

[graytlo]

SPOILER








I don't understand why they went with big arms, if it has T-Rex and raptor DNA, both of which have tiny arms.

[axelexplode]

Make Unicorns,
also maybe modify Ligers?

[beatricecole]

It seems right for us to eat an animal, but it doesn't seem right for an animal to eat us

[joshuafahrney]

if we can do it I don't see any reason why we shouldn't try.🐺

[bretthicksomega]

Playing god is never a good all my sessions end in failure.... then I reload the save.

[ryuuk]

I'm rooting for you buddy or in the words from Shia LaBeouf...Just Do It!

[buttersddragon]

Let's be real, here. The dinosaur wouldn't just kill for sport.

[vlonecat]

those were real dinosaurs in the movie?

[disneyanndrdbuxom]

Let's just hope they don't actually try any of this shit. 😐
