One scientist thinks they can. He is trying to make a new dinosaur called a chickenosaurus.
Some people are excited. But others say it is a bad idea. It could be dangerous. And the dinosaurs might not survive.
Will dinosaurs ever roam the Earth again?
Yes! We have to dream big. Dinosaurs were first discovered in 1824. Back then, nobody knew fossil hunters would find 1,000 more species. Anything could happen!
No. It is very unlikely. The science is tricky. This is probably a good thing. Dinosaurs would find it hard to survive. We should spend our time protecting creatures alive today!
