But it's not like, like, wasn't there something?

They brought a wolf.

There was some cover of a magazine recently and they said, oh, this wolf that had gone extinct, we actually like brought it back somehow.

Yeah.

Isn't there some work being done on science and reviving extinct species?

Yeah, this is a big call.

Particularly from an antiquities dealer.

Someone who's a pro is like, oh, yeah, this is definitely coming to Jurassic Park.

You know, when you ask a little kid what they want to be, they either want to be like, you know, a popular thing to be a paleontologist.

And I can't imagine by and large there's a lot of paleontology jobs.

But given the trends, would you say this is becoming a more plausible career option if there's more money in the space and then more economic reason to find dinosaurs?

Could this be that maybe more kids get to live out their dreams of being a paleontologist?

I'll tell my kids tonight that maybe they should go into this.

Absolutely.

And, you know, this idea that art will go in and out of style.

Dinosaurs are forever.

And so probably from the perspective of a collector or a museum and you want to have a lot of interest.

dinosaurs are the way to go.

And then just this idea that I do imagine that there is, and I talked about this, a little bit of anxiety about there being private trade and ownership of them.

But if the plus side is that it makes excavation more economically viable, and if in many of these instances, the dinosaurs do end up in museums for scientists to study regardless, it sounds like a win-win for the most part.
