Why Jurassic Park is impossible?

Plus, there's one other teeny obstacle to setting up Jurassic Park: no one has actually ever found any dinosaur DNA. Scientists know that DNA degrades over time, and the oldest DNA ever found is about a million years old. The dinosaur DNA you need would have had to survive around 65m years.

Can dinosaurs come back to life?

Unfortunately, dinosaurs probably cannot be cloned and brought back to life. Their DNA is too old since dinosaurs have been extinct for over 65 million years. Any genetic information is not likely to survive for one million years, so the dinosaurs are simply too old to be cloned.

Will dinosaurs come back in 5 years?

DNA breaks down over time. The dinosaurs went extinct around 66 million years ago and with so much time having passed it is very unlikely that any dinosaur DNA would remain today. While dinosaur bones can survive for millions of years, dinosaur DNA almost certainly does not.

What dinosaur is still alive?

In an evolutionary sense, birds are a living group of dinosaurs because they descended from the common ancestor of all dinosaurs.

Can we clone a dinosaur?

"We are a long, long way from being able to reconstruct the DNA of extinct creatures, and in fact it may be impossible to resurrect the DNA of dinosaurs or other long-extinct forms. We have DNA for living creatures, including ourselves, and yet we cannot clone any living animal (from DNA alone).
