“Then, in 1987, InGen bought an obscure company called Milli-pore Plastic Products in Nashville, Tennessee. This was an agribusiness company that had recently patented a new plastic with the characteristics of an avian eggshell. This plastic could be shaped into an egg and used to grow chick embryos. Starting the following year, InGen took the entire output of this millipore plastic for its own use.” “Dr. Dodgson, this is all very interesting—” “At the same time,” Dodgson continued, “construction was begun on Isla Nublar.

So what?” “It’s not an ordinary zoo,” Dodgson said. “This zoo is unique in the world. It seems that InGen has done something quite extraordinary. They have managed to clone extinct animals from the past.” “What animals?” “Animals that hatch from eggs, and that require a lot of room in a zoo.” “What animals?” “Dinosaurs,” Dodgson said. “They are cloning dinosaurs.”
