How to make a dinosaur

Henry Wu, the chief geneticist explained how they make the dinosaurs. First, they extract dinosaur DNA from ambers which are fossilized sap of trees. Sometimes there are insects that have fed on dinosaur blood caught in it and they took the blood. After that, the dinosaur DNA is always incomplete because it was only a small portion of blood extracted. They use a very high-tech computer to complete the DNA chain by using other animal’s DNA. Then, the dinosaur embryos that have been completed are put into special eggs so that they can grow and hatch. The eggs have special shells and the room temperature must be perfect. Sometimes if something goes wrong with the egg they had to inject poison in it so that it will not cause trouble. Finally the dinosaur would hatch so that they could find out what type of dinosaur it is. Just waiting it hatch is exciting!
