Did you know that a complete fossil of a dinosaur weighs two tons, but can contemporary biotechnology resurrect the dinosaurs that once disappeared? This may not be a fantasy, this species that once stood at the top of the earth's food chain has ruled the earth for 2 million years! Although dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago, humans have never stopped looking for dinosaur footprints. The story of the Tyrannosaurus rex begins in the last century.

In 1902, Brown, a dinosaur fossil collector, accidentally found the skeleton of a giant carnivore in the United States, named it T. rex, and made it public

Since then, humans have begun to conduct systematic research on Tyrannosaurus rex. Fossil specimen analysis. T. rex body length of about 13 meters, weighing up to 12 tons or so, with a large skull, coupled with bilateral holes, can effectively reduce the weight of the head, because the tyrannosaurus rex forelimbs are very short, only 80 cm long, according to the study found that the forelimbs of the Tyrannosaurus rex is only used to balance their huge head. Well-developed facial muscles can maximize the bite force of the mouth, and the teeth of the Tyrannosaurus rex are jagged, even reaching 36 cm each, coupled with the obvious ridge on the posterior side, which can easily bite through the bones of the prey, the Tyrannosaurus rex has a strong hind limb, and a stable ankle can help them run fast in complex roads.

In 1991, archaeologists found the skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus rex named "Scotty", which took nearly 20 years to dig out, and it is speculated that "Scotty" lived about 66 million years ago, it is about 30 years old, and its tail, jaw, and ribs have many scars, indicating that the dragon's life is not peaceful. Although fossils can be excavated continuously, very few complete dinosaur fossils exist.

The fossils unearthed in 1967 are about 65% complete, the fossils found in 1966, only 74 bones, the completeness is 25%, in the spring of 1987 Stanley found the T. rex fossil, 190 bones, is currently the second complete T. rex fossil, but can dinosaurs really be resurrected with the current technology?

In 2016, Dr. Hinglida found a kind of amber in Myanmar, after careful study of the amber contained dinosaur fossils, the shape of this plant is nothing else, it is the feathers on the tail of the dinosaur, scientists said that if you can get the complete dinosaur DNA sequence, there is a possibility of resurrecting the dinosaur, at that time, it may be that Jurassic Park is no longer a dream
