Are you intentionally quoting Jurassic Park? Or is the topic so close it’s simply inevitable?

If he succeeds, how much land will be set aside as wilderness habitat for the newly created “Endangered species”?

How about the whole of Siberia?

Shucks! I wanted to be the first one to clone a Mammoth.

Both you and this article are a step behind. Garth's rapidly become one of my favorite pets, ever.

The only drawback was having to turn the entire first floor of my house into a litter box.

The first ones will be a huge money maker. It wouldn’t matter who guards them as long as it isn’t government since they can easily pay for themselves.

Why not go ahead and ‘create’ a bunch of Saber Tooth Tigers and Mammoth and turn them loose in the wild? Would make life in America MUCH more interesting. LOL!!
