The Indominus rex is not a real dinosaur. It's a fictional hybrid created for the movie Jurassic World. The idea of creating a dinosaur-like hybrid creature using genetic engineering is currently beyond the reach of modern science due to various challenges. This includes accurately extracting and applying ancient dinosaur DNA, creating a functional hybrid genome and developing it into a living creature, among others. Even theoretically, creating a hybrid like Indominus rex could have serious ethical and ecological implications. The consequences of introducing such a powerful, foreign species into an ecosystem can be unpredictable and potentially catastrophic. Furthermore, issues around animal rights and welfare come up when considering creating creatures specifically designed for human entertainment. Hence, the concept of Indominus rex, while captivating from a sci-fi perspective, is not realistic with our current understanding of genetics nor considered ethical or plausible.
