British scientists have announced that they have successfully clone a dinosaur, according to a spokesman from Liverpool’s Jon Moore University...
They’ve cloned an Aparosaurus by extracting DNA from a well-preserved fossil, then injected it into a fertile ostrich womb. The dinosaur, nicknamed “Spot” is currently being incubated at the university’s College of Veterinary Medicine. “Ostriches share a lot of genetic traits with dinosaurs,” said Dr. Gerrard Jones, a biology professor at LJMU and the project’s leading scientist.
“Their eggshell microstructures are almost identical to those of the Apatosaurus. That’s why the cloning worked so perfectly.”
Religious groups and animal rights activists aren’t too happy with the accomplishment, however, and they’re claiming that it’s unethical and immoral. PETA President Craig Farmer criticized the scientists for performing potentially life threatening experiments on a new species. “These scientists brought an animal from the Jurassic age back to life – just to watch it suffer!” he said.
Dr. Gemma Sheridan is a chemistry professor at LIMU and says that it’s a milestone for those in the scientific community when it comes to genetic engineering. “I used to think this kind of thing could only happen in the movies,” she said. “But we’re making it happen right here in our lab. It’s astounding.” As of now the cloned dinosaur is in stable condition and scientists will continue to run tests...¨

More details on this incredible event -here-
Getting an early start, eh?
Early by an hour in my time zone.
Real life Jurrasic Park coming soon with attorneys running into bathrooms and getting eaten by T-Rexs
Mmmmmhhhhmmmmm. Another report just in. . . Intelligent life discovered at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C.

But journalusts are unable to use the word “cloned” properly
Not in my time zone... sorry about that Hawaiian Tony!
Aloha...
“What could possibly go wrong?”
Said no one....EVER!
ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, announce joint exposé of ObamaCare failures on day after deadline passes. Discover President Obama has defrauded the American people. Mainstream Anchors call for immediate impeachment!
Now scientists can clone the endangered delta smelt so that farmers can use the water.
April Fools!
They need to inject DNA from Dino at Fred’s house into the slovenly stone quarry dinosaurs then
He’s a ball of energy, that Dino!
Wonder how many bullshit articles we are going to see today.
Plenty lol
I saw this movie, it doesn’t turn out well!
