Mr Ni, the billionaire who want to rebuild the Crystal Palace has finally announced what will be in the Crystal Palace, and it now becomes clear why it took so long to make the announcement.
The new Crystal Palace will be used to house an exhibition of dinosaurs cloned from fossilized DNA and successfully implanted into bird eggs by Scientists in Liverpool (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/scienc...25781.html).
Crystal Palace was one of the first places where model dinosaurs were displayed to the world, back in 1854. Since then our knowledge of these reptiles has improved and we are now at the point where they can be reintroduced into a suitable environment.
...
The glass Palace will recreate the Cretaceous environment and atmosphere, perfect for the dinosaurs that lived 100 million years ago.
Visitors will be able to enter a separate but intertwined structure to view the various dinosaurs but will kept separate from them at all times, with the exception of organised annual hunts.
In the highly unlikely event of a dinosaur escaping from the Palace, trained parakeets would be used to follow it and raise the alarm, with helicopter SWAT teams recapturing the reptiles or killing them. However, they would not be expected to last more than a few days outside a high oxygen environment, so there is absolutely no danger to the public beyond a standard 4 mile evacuation zone.
Building of the Palace is scheduled to begin on 1st April 2016 with the first dinosaur eggs hatching on 1st April 2017.
