SANTA FE, NM, February 03, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In a remote island off the west coast of Costa Rica a team of scientists has just completed six years of secret research and development enabling them to clone 15 different species of dinosaurs, 200 animals all together.

"Jurassic Park" will be the ultimate theme park because the exhibitions are real. Creating and then trying to control nature will be the challenge.

A story about dinosaurs had been creeping up in novelist Michael Crichton's imagination for almost a decade before it was penned to paper. His fascination with stuffed dinosaurs turned to cloned dinosaurs and he ultimately wrote "Jurassic Park."

Next came the movie.

What made the dinosaurs in the movie so creepy is that they were "animals" gone amuck. Not "monsters" gone amuck. It made them all the more real. These predators jumped out of the comic books right before your eyes onto a larger-than-life movie screen.

On October 8, Profiles in History in Calabasas Hills, Calif., featured the actual 67 inch tall by 142 inch long raptor velociraptor maquette (scale model) from the first "Jurassic Park" movie in its Hollywood 37 auction.
