Re: Chickenosaurus?

There is evidence that mini wooly mammoths were wandering around Svalbard about 1000yrs ago. So fun-size pachiderms are possible. I'm sure it won't be long before enough mammalian species with large body size ranges have been sequenced for a reasonable idea of what the control regions are (eg dog, cat, horse, human, etc) to be formed. Of course you could always give an otherwise normal animal a genetic dwarfism mutation, which would be fast but saddle you with large vet bills and limit their lifespan; perhaps appropriate for the "now generation", think planned obsolesence, but just a tad on the unethical side (unless of course done for research purposes...).

It wouldn't be too hard to realize a tomagotchi or pocket pikachu with
something similar to these biotic games:

That seems like a much more boring pet than a buffalo:

How do we just mutate buffalo and elephants to have mini zoo pets?
