I find this fascinating, however, it raises so many questions and doubts... Extinct animals are extinct for a reason. What makes us think that these creatures would be a good addition to the current species pool? That they would adapt and survive with current Earth conditions? That we're not actually creating even worse monsters by mixing DNA of different species in such ways?
In other words, and to quote Dr. Malcolm... "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."
