Or would the cloning process be way too expensive?

It would be profitable for a while... I am basing this on the reported $50,000 which was to be charged for cloning a pet cat or dog.
Such a rare animal would be a wonderful centerpiece for a zoo, and would bring in lots of visitors. I'd bet that a living dodo bird would be a million dollar prize for a zoo. I'd sure go look at it.

Most definitely profitable, yes. But we would need to advance our understanding and techniques before such a thing were possible. Deformations and early deaths are the norm, and if SeaWorld wants a pleisiosaur, the company would have to be sure it would live to a ripe old age. Not too mention the animal rights activists, considering how uh, vocal they are on keeping any kind of animal locked up. It would be a media nightmare, and probably in everyone's best interest NOT to carry out something like this.

Oh yes it would, but there are still mixed feelings about cloneing. I personally don't care.
