Could we clone a dinosaur?
Enrich Spot presents, written by Lung Tak Chun, Fossils Lab series : The X-Files on Dinosaur is the first-ever illustrated book of its kind published in Hong Kong. Every page is packed with amazing illustrations and fun facts about dinosaurs, together with precious collection of reconstruction illustrations of fossilized dinosaur skeletons, feathered dinosaurs and eggs.
Readers can get a glimpse of the wonder of the Dinosaurs world, explore the latest related discoveries and understand the work of the paleontologists: how do they study fossil remains to re-structure the different aspects of these extinct creatures?
This book also demystifies some dinosaur myth:
• We could bring back dinosaurs by cloning their DNA? Wrong.
• Modern birds have skeletal features that are almost identical to some non-avian dinosaurs. Thus, birds can also be called avian dinosaurs!
• Dinosaur were all giants? Not true. Epidexipteryx hui, the smallest non-avian dinosaur ever found , was about 25cm in length without the tail.
