    Bah,

    They'd last five years and then we'd hunt them to the brink of extinction like everything else. Eddie Rockets would sell T-Rex Burgers made out of 99% chicken parts for €50 and it's only a matter of time before one got lose in the RTE studios and started eating "reality TV show" Z- listed celebrity contentors whilst fighting to the death for the viewing publics pleasure

    On second thoughts........... bring em back I say.

    Never gonna happen. Even if you could get the DNA(which is so unlikely) and get to the point of hatching, there's one big problem. Not enough oxygen nowadays so they would move very very slowly or suffocate. Bummer.

    Raptors FTW.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    On the plus side if we could manage it modern plants are more nutritious than the ones around at the time of the dinosaurs so they might grow even bigger.

    it would be nice if they could revive stuff like mammoths


    but for fun stuff they have DNA from ground sloths too
    20ft tall with claws a foot long \o/

    and the large flightless birds like moas and rocs


    or the giant aussie lizzards wiped out by the abos about 50K years ago


    Diprotodon - a wombat the size of a hippo

    pygmy elephants from malta would be cool, you could keep one as a pet

    So if Dinosaurs ruled the earth for 300 million years and man's history can only be traced back about 25 - 40,000 years.How many species of Intelligent Life could have evolved and left planet earth several times before the mass extinction 65 million years ago?

    not many

    Birds are the last surviving dinosaurs. So we have good clues to how intelligent they would be by comparing brain/body sizes and the results show the the best of them like trodon / raptors to be no more intelligent than early mammals or birds. others like stegasauros had brains the size of a walnut.

    Yes they were more intelligent than most other animals at the time but that's not saying a lot. Though intelligence is not necissarily a survival trait , even today a lot of animals sit around munching low energy food and don't waste that energy on learning.

    To build spaceships capable of intersellar travel you would need better technology than we have. So it's probably safe to assume anyone who did that would have in their past have roads and railways and dams and mines , big stuff all over the place which we might have seen by now.
