Kinda like it.
Can you imagine how the predator & pest forum would change.

HELP! Neighbor's dinosaur ate my dog.

Can dinosaurs get lice and mites?

Imp wants one.

They could probably get scaly leg mites.. but on their whole body instead

I would think Vaselining a dinosaur could be dangerous.

I think I should now rename my Rooster, instead of Clucky...I'll call him "Cluckyzilla!!!"
Can you imagine the size of these eggs from the chick-o-saurs?

I saw an documentary on Discovery channel about this. Very interesting! Genetics fascinate me.

Although, you have to worry about what they're getting into.

Oh yes! I've seen that documentary about dinosaurs too. I also just watched a bit of Jurassic Park a minute ago

Fascinating.. but dangerous..

The genetic facinate me also I would love to see the end result.
the closest you can see in the bird world to a dinosaur is the Rhea bird. and they claim turkeys are also been down sized from the raptor type large birds.
and if you have ever had a Tom or Hen turkey give you the stink eye it might just have you believing it LOL

Yeah, I saw this, were chicks do develop teeth and a tail but later lose it as they develop. They are trying to figure out out to keep it turned on and develop. Scary and interesting at the same time.
