Amazing!

It is amazing what modern science can achieve.In 2003,a scientist called Horner,who helped make the jurrasic park movie, made a fasinating discovery. Horner figured out that he could retro-engineer the modern day bird to turn it into its ancestral relative, a group of dinosaurs called “Raptors.”Horner believed that a modern bird’s DNA contains a genetic memory that could be “switched on” again, resurrecting the long-dormant dinosaur traits. First,Horner tried this on the emu. It didn’t work. Then, he found out that the chicken was a possible choice too. He managed to make one grow teeth, almost identical to those of an alligator!For more info, go to this link:Jurrasic park comes true!

    Dear Santiago,
    I think that your post is very cool. The reason for this is because you show a lot of great details. By the way, I like dinosaurs also. I think that it is very cool looking for their fossils. I have a collection of fossils. I like to collect fossils because it made me think of the animal back then. I hope I can go back in time to see the dinosaurs. On the other hand, I think that it would be scary to go back in time because of the environment. Once again, good job.

    Sincerely,
    Raymond

    Great post! I took a class in college at FSU from a world renown dino guy, it was awesome. :-)
