One of Australia's richest men, Clive Palmer, plans to clone dinosaurs to build a true Jurassic Park. He has already purchased an island for this and is ready to pay the scientists who cloned Dolly the sheep.
Billionaire Clive Palmer plans to clone the dinosaurs in order to recreate a kind of Jurassic Park near the city of Brisbane, where he owns the resort.
Palmer has already begun collaborating with scientists who once cloned Dolly the famous sheep. And now he expects that they will revive real ancient dinosaurs for his park, using the surviving DNA samples of those dinosaurs.
For his bold idea, the rich man has already bought a large plot of land, fenced on all sides by water. According to Palmer, dinosaurs could live there not like in an ordinary zoo, in cages, but moving freely, as if it were their natural habitat.
The eccentric billionaire also plans to host hotels and a giant London Eye-style observation wheel on the territory.
However, some experts are skeptical about Palmer's idea. In their opinion, scientists will never return dinosaurs or other ancient creatures on Earth, because their genes have long disappeared.

However, the sources of another Australian publication The Brisbane Times denied information about Palmer's plans to resurrect the dinosaurs, calling it completely
ridiculous. According to them, the billionaire is not going to do anything like that.
Palmer himself has not yet commented on the press reports, promising to deny or confirm the rumors at a press conference in Brisbane.
It is reported that Palmer was previously known for various non-trivial ideas. In particular, he plans to create a complete copy of the Titanic, work on this project has already begun. He is also known to be one of the richest people in Australia. He owns large assets in the coal industry, as well as in tourism.
