Scientists think they can “Jurassic Park” the Dodo. If you live under a rock and have not seen Jurassic Park, this means that scientists are trying to bring Dodos back to life. Colossal Biosciences, a biotechnology and genetic engineering company, are working to resurrect the Dodo.

Although Dodos could come back, they won’t be the same. If dodos are to come back, then these scientists would use modern bird DNA to make a different kind of flightless bird.

There is also talk about bringing back the Woolly Mammoth. However, they are not bringing back the woolly mammoth yet. The idea was that scientists are going to put woolly mammoth DNA with elephant DNA to help elephants survive the cold weather. This is a similar thing to the dodo. Scientists won’t create an exact dodo, but they will be close.

Let me tell you about Caleb Watson. He is a marketing major from Indianola, Iowa. He is a senior this year at Morningside. His hobbies include sports, wrestling, and a pet lizard named Fedor. Caleb’s favorite class was Abnormal Psychology. He once said, “There ain’t nothing between us but air and opportunity, and I just took the air.” I think that is pretty inspirational.
