Can we see dinosaurs someday? Part II

But we are here to see if one day we can appreciate a dinosaur; sure you have already thought about cloning, how many times cloning has not appeared in films related to dinosaurs.

The dolly sheep was the first mammal cloned from an adult cell, to create it the nucleus of a differentiated cell was taken, that is to say an already specialized cell, like the skin cells, that are not embryonic and was introduced in an ovule without core, the resulting embryo developed into a surrogate mother and after a while the famous sheep that lived for six years was born.

The cloning is a technique that has evolved a lot during the last years after dolly, many other cloned animals were born with different purposes going through the simple research, the recovery of extinct species ( Capra pyrenaica pyrenaica ) and even a company that was dedicated to cloning a pet, this company was the first to clone a pet, which was called copycat, a cloned domestic cat that lived in perfect condition with its owner and had four kittens.

And then what are we waiting for to clone dinosaurs? If cloning is already possible, well there is a small difference between the dolly sheep and the dinosaurs.

The DNA that was obtained to create a dolly came from a sheep that was alive at the time of extraction, instead the DNA of the dinosaurs is more difficult to get than anything else because they have been extinct for millions of years, so normally in its remains are not DNA, the remains that we found of these amazing animals never contain it.
