Wyverns
I have just had an idea for breeding wyverns. As a wyvern is just a large flying reptile it should be possible to breed flying lizards into wyverns. Am I right?

There are South American flying lizards although they kind of glide. You would not have to spend loads of money on the project. At most it would take $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 dollars. You would breed them to have their wing size increase more than their body size.

One thing about this though. even if it is possible to do would it be advisable. just how would we know how much they would eat. We could possibly destroy the wholeecosystem by just introducing one genetically engineered species, and if that happened we would either have to kill em all or be in deep trouble in short amount of time.

How very arrogant of you. Mankind doesn't have the power to destroy the world. We don't even have the power to save it. This planet lives and breathes on a much vaster scale.
We can't save the planet, or destroy it.
Read Jurassic Park for an example.

it depends on how you deal with the creature. If it was left to run loose, there would probably be alot of consequences, but if it was jsut a pet, then there probably would be little to no damage to the ecosystem....depending on how you do it...
If you were to juggle a lion, and a house cat, the end result would look something like a tattered chunk of red fabric. The cat would scratch anything within reach, and the lion would just eat you. The lesson to learn? Make sure you eat your spinach.

I'm officially challenging that figure. We've been reducing our nuclear weapons cache for years.Makadona wrote:The U.S. has enough explosives to slit the world in half 5 times...
Suppose, though, that there was a thermonuclear war, and the Earth was extremely radioactive for a hundred years. The majority of life would die.
But in several places around the world, there are bacteria that thrive on radioactivity. Extremophiles like those microbes would grow and thrive until they covered the Earth, bringing the radioactivity levels down to a livable level. The sea creatures protected from radiation by the water will come up again, and life would renew itself.

Maybe we could blow up the world, if we put all our nukes in a line like a partian seperating the world. But we don't have enough urananiam. We would have to mine our patch of the galaxy bare.
We could tag all of the wyverns with knockout tags so we could kill them remotely. DARPA has the technology. The just won't share it. It's top secret defence stuff.

OK, possibilities of things so they do not ruin the ecosystem:
-Auto Kill Tag Thingy
-Give it weaknesses so it would have predetors
-Make them pretty small, like max size would be that of a horse

have you never seen Jurassic Park? raptors are really smart - they can open doors. I would never feel safe in my house again. wyverns are okay cause they don't have opposable thumbs.
Now and then I announce "I know you're listening" to empty rooms. If I'm wrong, no one knows. And if I'm right, maybe i just freaked the hell out of some secret organization. It's basically Paschal's wager for the paranoid prankster.
