The 2015 movie Jurassic World features a genetically modified dinosaur, called Indominus rex ("Untamable king"). It is a species of theropod (flesh-eating dinosaur) called an abelisaur, and, according to the movie's website, is made up of genetic material obtained from Carnotaurus, Majungasaurus, Rugops and Giganotosaurus. As in an earlier movie, Jurassic Park, scientists cloned the dinosaurs by extracting dinosaur blood, containing DNA, from mosquitoes fossilized in amber. But is bringing dinosaurs back to life really fiction, or can it be achieved for real?
