We make our students -- pre-freshmen, have an "Ethics Court" trial whether to clone dinosaurs like Jurassic Park... Do you know that in the book, the code listed in as Dino code is pBR322!!!
At any rate, we make the students serve on the pro side vs. the con side of the issue and present their "cases". Welp, after speaking to my husband about the issue, who is overwhelmingly on the con side, pointed out, once you make like a brontosaurus--who's gonna clean up the poop? Most the students never thought of that issue--so they all voted not make real-time sized dinos...
As for the other things, no my hunny has ever heard of a viper fish... He probably has, but, he into the NBA finals...
I think there are a few sharks that go below depths to feed. There is this one that has a shorter fractional shortening--the Z lines are closer to each other with a few more mitochondria powering the muscles in the Alaskan waters... I imagine that great whites go low depths or the swim far? And the whale sharks--just saw 4 of them up close and personal at the Georgia Aquarium, can go similar depths to some real mammalian whales.
