While “Jurassic Park” is fiction, scientists are working on reviving extinct species like the mammoth, dodo, and Tasmanian tiger, aiming to create hybrids.

Researchers are also exploring ancient DNA for new drugs and reviving historical plants for their potential medicinal value.

In the 1980s, archaeologists discovered a 1,000-year-old seed in the Judean Desert, which grew into a 10-foot-tall tree, CNN has reported.

DNA sequencing identified it as part of the Commiphora genus, possibly linked to a healing plant mentioned in the Bible, though the species is likely extinct.
