How to Build a Dinosaur: Extinction Doesn't Have to Be Forever is a 2009 book by paleontologist Jack Horner and James Gorman. The book outlines Horner's theory for being able to resurrect a maniraptoran dinosaur by altering the genes of a chicken embryo.
Horner's 2009 book, How to Build a Dinosaur: Extinction Doesn't Have to Be Forever, describes his plan to recreate a dinosaur by genetically "nudging" the DNA of a chicken. Horner's idea for the project came from an early script for the film Jurassic World . [29]
Designasaurus is an educational game created by Ezra Sidran and published by Britannica Software. It was released for Amiga, Apple II, Apple IIGS, Commodore 64, and MS-DOS. [2] [3] [4] The game is about creating a custom dinosaur and helping it survive.
Birds are avian dinosaurs, and in phylogenetic taxonomy are included in the group Dinosauria. Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles [note 1] of the clade Dinosauria. They first appeared during the Triassic period, between 243 and 233.23 million years ago (mya), although the exact origin and timing of the evolution of dinosaurs is a subject ...
Parkasaurus is a dinosaur zoo construction and management simulation video game developed by Washbear Studio. It entered Steam Early Access on September 25, 2018, and officially released on August 13, 2020. The player is tasked to create a dinosaur zoo by building and designing dinosaur exhibits.
Tarbosaurus (/ ˌ t ɑːr b ə ˈ s ɔːr ə s / TAR-bə-SOR-əs; meaning "alarming lizard") is a genus of tyrannosaurine theropod dinosaur that lived in Asia about 72-68 million years ago, during the Maastrichtian age at the end of the Late Cretaceous period, considered to contain a single known species: Tarbosaurus bataar.
Tyrannosaurus ( / tɪˌrænəˈsɔːrəs, taɪ -/) [a] is a genus of large theropod dinosaur. The type species Tyrannosaurus rex ( rex meaning "king" in Latin ), often shortened to T. rex or colloquially T-Rex, is one of the best represented theropods.
The physiology of dinosaurs has historically been a controversial subject, particularly their thermoregulation. Recently, many new lines of evidence have been brought to bear on dinosaur physiology generally, including not only metabolic systems and thermoregulation, but on respiratory and cardiovascular systems as well.
He in turn let it be described by Conybeare on 24 February 1824 in a lecture to the Geological Society of London, during the same meeting in which for the first time a dinosaur was named, Megalosaurus. The two finds revealed the unique and bizarre build of the animals, in 1832 by Professor Buckland likened to "a sea serpent run through a turtle".
Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria. They first appeared during the Triassic period, between 243 and 233.23 million years ago (mya), although the exact origin and timing of the evolution of dinosaurs is a subject of active research. They became the dominant terrestrial vertebrates after the Triassic–Jurassic ...
