7. Real-Life Jurassic Park
What It Does: Brings The Past To Life
Expected Rollout: TBD
For anyone who was of age, in 1993, to see it when it came out, Steven Spielberg’s film adaptation of Michael Crichton’s novel, “Jurassic Park”, was a life-changing experience. Never before had dinosaurs been, so realistically, brought to life. Fast forward to 2021, and there is not one, but multiple parks of their kind.

Okay, so, maybe there isn’t a real-life John Hammond collecting dino DNA from fossilized mosquitos in order to create living breathing dinosaurs, but there is a Russian philanthropist by the name of Sergey Zimov, who is hoping to restore the 12,000-year-old mammoth steppe ecosystem by creating a wildlife park for herbivores and introducing hybrid modern megafauna in place of the mammoths.
