Create crocodile hybrid chicken

Arkhat Abzhanov, an evolutionary creature researcher at Harvard University, developed chickens with crocodile snout by cutting a square hole in the chicken egg shell and dropping a small piece of gelatinous protein into it. before embryo development.

These changes allow individual molecules on the face to freely develop into a muzzle within 14 days.

Although the moral rules did not encourage the introduction of these eggs, Abzhanov said he hoped the work would be completed someday in order to bring the chickens to Maniraptora's group .

Maniraptora is a small dinosaur believed to be the ancestor of thousands of bird species today. According to many researchers, chickens are also descended from dinosaurs through a series of genetic changes.

Dr. Abzhanov analyzed molecules that control body changes in birds as well as other animals. By making DNA in chickens look like crocodile genes before the mine grows, Dr. Abzhanov deflects the simple evolutionary path of chickens so that they grow up with a crocodile-like muzzle.

Craig Albertson, a biologist at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, said: "This result can make a big breakthrough in evolutionary research."
