Genetically Engineered Dinosaurs May Become a Reality

Michael Crichton’s classic novel, Jurassic Park, talked about a world where dinosaurs were brought back to life. But this concept isn’t just the plot of a sci-fi novel – at least, not if the creators of the Chickenosaur are successful…

The Chickenosaur – also known as DinoChicken or Chickenosaurus – is the pet project of famous paleontologist Jack Horner. Horner wants to re-create a small dinosaur. To do this, Horner and his team are re-activating and engineering ancient DNA found in chickens (hence the name Chickenosaur).
