    All we need is a poll asking which Summer Glau character is the best Feminist Superhero, some Chart Porn, and images of the LHC and we'll have the io9 Singularity.

    "The largest of the species is the so-called BoarCroc, a 20-foot long meat-eating machine. The BoarCroc, described as a "saber-toothed cat in armor," had three rows of fangs, ideal for chowing down on dinosaurs."

    I was thinking "how the hell did that thing get extinct", but it's not that strange... being at the top of the food chain and having all your diet get extinct at once must suck

    Of all the species that we should not clone after the fact, the BoarCroc is definitely at the top of the list. In fact, just avoid cloning any of those things, okay? Sometimes it's fine to just leave things extinct.
