Can't believe Jurassic Park is no longer a fiction.

In all seriousness, I don't understand why anyone would want to reintroduce species that were extinct for millions of years (with no regards to existing ecosystems it seems), nor how such a company is able to fund this endeavor.

They were extinct for 12,000 and we're the cause. We ate all the megafauna to extinction and settled on farming when the weather got warm. Dire wolves weren't so lucky

The millions of years I was referring to was the Mammoth project the same company plans to revive has well
