Dinosaur Makers

Hey !
I'm now in the control room. Actually I just came back from the Safari Lodge. It wasn't all the same like what it said in the map. I wonder why. Soon little childrens came from the helicopter. It was Hammond's grandchildrens , Tim and Lex ! They're so cute !

We're now on a special tour talking about how to make dinosaurs. By then, questions started to pop up in my mind. How can they create dinosaurs like this?! Aren't dinosaurs extinct? My partner, Dr. Alan Grant asked the same questions. They need dinosaur DNA to make these dinosaurs. I finally have our questions answered in the EXTRACTIONS room. Dr. Wu was the chief geneticist. He said that they get the DNA from amber. Many years ago the sap from the trees hardened and fossilized, that was amber. In some case, insects were caught by this stick sap before it turns hard. These insects might have fed on animals like dinosaurs. So the dinosaur blood might be inside the insect.
I started to make another question by the time Dr. Wu explained to us. How could they know whether the blood contains dinosaur DNA or not? By then, we are in a much bigger room and there was a supercomputer called Cray XMP. This computer works on the DNA and repair the DNA chains. Once again my question was answered.

Soon after he showed us this, we directly went to the FERTILLIZATION room. In here the dinosaur embryos were placed into special eggs and in the HATCHERY room, the eggs hatched into baby dinosaurs. These baby dinosaurs were later brought to the NURSERY room. This park is awesome !
