Expert claims Jurassic Park a fraud: notorious mosquito preserved in amber was only species that didn't suck blood. Because everything else in the film was completely feasible

They never explicitly stated that any mosquito they showed us was actually the mosquito used to extract the dino dna.

noting op's sarcasm but yeah. he shows them them some amber they just found and there are already dinosaurs roaming around the island.

I think the fact that DNA has a half-life of 521 years probably didn't help either.

Also, it's the Daily Mail.

i've always been curious about why the premise was impossible, the mosquitoes essentially took a blood sample correct?

i know about this but it would have worked otherwise right?
also i think it's more like a 25,000 year half life depending on temperature swings
