What do we have for dessert today? A bit of lore, since it's been a while.
Let's talk about Kusya from the comic "Gifts of the Wandering Ice" and her real-life prototype.
As they say, "birds are dinosaurs that survived." But can we make them look even more "dinosaur-like"? Bring back their wing claws, long tail, and teeth? Science says yes.
After all, these beloved dino traits haven't actually disappeared—they're just blocked, dormant (and not even in all species: some birds still have tiny claws on their wings and tiny "teeth" in their beaks). And what is dormant can be awakened through genetic engineering. They say the "chickenosaur" project is just around the corner. Are we waiting?

PS: In Gifts, domestic dinos can mimic any sound: from a fire siren to human speech. Yes, that's right: like parrots. Now imagine: you're walking in a prehistoric forest, and someone calls out to you in a human voice, shouting "Help! Save me!" You rush to help, and there—some T-rex. If dinosaurs really could mimic sounds, that's truly terrifying.
