They had only gone for chicken, they were not the ganja plane.

The dinosaur Trix was named after the former Queen of the Netherlands, Beatrix.

What is crazy to me is the Earth's mantle. It's only a few miles away, it makes up over 80% of the Earth's volume and nobody has ever seen it.

Completely different government agencies. The CHA is not going to have anything to do with your EI claim.

Based on that picture of how cut up they are……

It's very possible we've not had success breeding them in captivity.
There's a number of species that we've either struggled to, or outright haven't been able to breed.
Squids, for example, were previously thought to be impossible to breed in captivity because they are very difficult to keep alive and healthy in standard aquariums. Once we figured out that we needed HUGE tanks with opaque walls in order to keep them alive, we began to see success in breeding.

To be fair, it was almost certainly smuggling drugs.
