Nature Spectacle: Real-world Jurassic Park Technology Reviving Rhinos, 10-hour Wildlife Documentary, and Daily Quiz

In the realm of news, there's always a fascinating blend of stories that capture our attention. Let's delve into some of the intriguing happenings that have recently surfaced.

Toby Keel, a versatile journalist with a knack for writing about property, cars, lifestyle, travel, and nature, has been steering the digital ship since 2016. As the Digital Director of his platform, he manages the website and social media channels with an admirable deftness.

In a different sphere, software engineer Ben Lamm made headlines this year with the launch of Colossal Laboratories & Biosciences. The ambitious project aims to utilise CRISPR genetic technology to revive long-extinct species, such as the woolly mammoth.

Meanwhile, photographer Rick Guest is set to display his captivating images of various artefacts at the startkx.com art fair next week. The collection promises to be a visual feast for art enthusiasts.

For those with a penchant for history, the Great Tangley Manor in Surrey is up for grabs. With a £5 million discount, this could be an opportunity not to be missed.

In the world of conservation, the Colossal Foundation is making waves. This organisation, founded by George Church, is using CRISPR technology to help save species on the brink of extinction, such as the Northern White and Sumatran Rhinos, Red Wolf, Northern Quoll, Ivory Billed Woodpecker, and Pink Pigeon. Their focus is on species with low genetic diversity, ensuring that the potential to bring them back, should the worst happen, is not lost.

However, the work of the Colossal Foundation is not without controversy. Comparisons to the plot of Jurassic Park are often drawn, and the ethical debate surrounding their manipulation of genetic code to create viable embryos is a hot topic. Voltaire's quote, "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him," may resonate with some in this debate.

Interestingly, the wealth of modern billionaires falls short, once adjusted for inflation, of the fortunes of the so-called 'robber barons' of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The late Chuck Feeny spent decades disbursing his wealth, setting a precedent for philanthropy.

Lastly, a trivia note for those who enjoy a good quiz: The answers are President Joe Biden, Bergamot, 12 (4+8), David Bowie, Chlor.

As always, the news continues to be a vibrant tapestry of stories, each with its unique thread. Stay tuned for more updates!
