Clone it!
That's crazy! 
But awesome.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with wether they could.....
In related news, scientists recently discovered that we may have accelerated the Neanderthals' extinction by giving them herpes.
The moment I heard that, I thought about Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance lyrics:
“I want your ugly, I want your disease, I want your love, love”.
I bet you that ant wanted some delicious dino-tail.
Here's the little dino the tail probably came from:
D'awww ^_^

I was genuinely surprised they didn't put feathers on the dinosaurs in Jurassic World.
Feathers... who knew?

T-Rex your turn to pick up the check.
I was recently going through renderings of dinosaurs and was surprised to see how many have been done with feathers. Got to keep an open mind, I guess.
Scientists have pretty well determined at this point that birds are the only extant descendants of dinosaurs.
I'm just as amazed by the preserved ant. That's insane!
In reply to Beer Baron:
I know! That's a friggin 99 million year old ant. It's impressive in it's own right. 
Years ago I bought the spouse a piece of amber jewelry with a bug in it. I think I liked it better than she did.
I wish I had made the kinds of choices in my life that would have had me at the forefront of this type of thing - or as a crewman on the Calypso, atleast for the parts when Rod Serling was talking.
A 99 million year old feathered dinosaur tail should be bigger news than "Trump tweets how much he doesn't know about foreign affairs in a single sentence! More than a few times!!"
Why did the dinosaur dip it's tail in amber? << Not a joke lead-in.
One of the articles said that since the 1990's scientists have believed that almost all dinosaurs were feathered. Why didn't I get the memo?
99 million years and ants have not hardly required any modifications. Talk about nailing a design with a product life cycle!

That's a joke right? They've know Dino's were featherd for at lest 15 years now.
I've e-mailed this to my 15 year old. She'll freak. She hasn't grown out the child hood Dino fascination and I can see her being a Dino artist when older.
