Quote context

- Where do you get 100 million-year-old dinosaur blood?
- What? What? Well, Mr. DNA, where did you come from?
- From your blood.
- Just one drop of your blood contains billions of strands of DNA, the building blocks of life.
- A DNA strand like me is a blueprint for building a living thing.
- And sometimes animals that went extinct millions of years ago, like dinosaurs, left their blueprints behind for us to find.
- We just had to know where to look.
- A hundred million years ago, there were mosquitoes just like today. And just like today, they fed on the blood of animals. Even dinosaurs.
