jurassic

[Jonathan Lighter]

Now meaning, 'pertaining to long-extinct animals.'

American Heroes Channel presents "Hitler's Jurassic Zoo."

Seems that the Nazis were hell-bent on breeding cattle and horses backward
into their ancestral forms of aurochs and tarpan.

The aurochs became extinct in 1627, the tarpan in the nineteenth century.

"Jurassic"? You be the judge.
