Yep, I knew I got that one wrong. It will be interesting to see what animals they decide to bring back once it becomes possible.

Oh yes! Please don’t ever let that become reality! I love dinos but it would be a bad idea to bring them back. Though if they were mini versions of themselves it would be cute .
