I think its so very interesting. Knowing the history of the earth. Why wouldnt someone care? I mean there is more to this earth than cars and money. There is fundamental and way more interesting things like HISTORY!

just heard on the news abt a new dinosaur being discovered and named. my question is why do we care if they really existed. ok, even if they did, of what benefit is their studies to mankind, all the money, effort and time spent on research, what are these scientists trying to prove or what is their aim of researching. shld we really care if dinosaurs existed or not? its not like theres still some species in existence or they cud ever be brought back to life..

well of course they can be brought back to life. Cobra commander did it and thankfully the GIjoes stopped his evil plot to attack the world with mind controlled dinosaurs. ;)

Seriously though. at the very least the search for knowledge and understanding of the world is important. Of course it would be cool if we could somehow get dna and actually clone a dino.

Of course other reasons is it helps us better understand how life evolved on our planet.

The problem with trying to get DNA from a fossil, is a fossil does not contain any part of the actual animal or plant. A fossil is actually a natural replica made of silicon carbonate, calcium carbonate and other natural substances. The formation of a fossil is very fantastic. As the animal decays under water, the water has to evaporate at the same rate as the decay, leaving various mineral crystals replacing the decaying organic substances. It is really quite amazing that anything ever fossilized.

The exceptions to this are tooth enamel and bone ostyocites, these do not contain DNA and are organically produced mineral formations.

Lol. Maybe they wouldnt be so cute if you accidentally ended up in a room with them...just the carnivorous ones, that is. :giggling:
JURASSIC PARK! :D
I used to collect dinosaur magazines when i was small. I had a huuuuuge pile, and then I binned them all! imsad
They were really cool in a geeky way...I collected all the bones that came with each one, and built a glow-in-the-dark T-rex. :shade:
I was quite proud of myself! :happy:

Its a frill or frill necked lizard. When it feels threatened it opens its mouth and the frill opens out making it appear bigger and frightening. It also runs very fast using its hind legs, i think.

The basilisk lizard (also known as the Jesus lizard) is more noted as the one that gets up on it's hind legs and runs.

The Frilled lizard does look very similar, except for the frill, also gets up on it's hind legs and runs. I don't think it is quite as agile as the Basilisk, but it is quite a runner.

The frilled lizard is harmless, the whole big show is all bluff and the little critter is defenseless except for it's ability to scare predators.

Dinos did live at one time, but maybe we are not suppose to care. those giant lizards were just not meant to live with us I guess.
