One day, we'll be able to bring back dinosaurs by cloning their DNA.
We've seen it in the movies. All we need is their preserved blood. Then we can extract their DNA and essentially resurrect numerous extinct dinosaur species. Right?
Wrong.
As fascinating as that prospect is, DNA is a very fragile molecule, which breaks down and is utterly unusable shortly after the death of an animal. We will never be able to clone a dinosaur.
