Click through to RTWT, where the boffin in question says they think they can do extinct rinos, too.Woolly mammoths could one day walk the Earth again, it seems.
In an extraordinary Jurassic Park- style experiment, DNA from a frozen specimen of the extinct giant was used to reproduce their blood.
Yeah, baby: Jurassic Hunting Park! Me, I'd want something in a .416 Rigby, and instead of a Professional Hunter for backup, I'd like a heavy weapons squad.

Forget the round for taking the beast down. What do you use for a marinade and rub for smoking the carcass afterwards?
