Today's office debate: Dinosaurs that would do ok today.

My money is on the raptors. Perhaps a stegosaurus.

[Samuel L. Jackson]

None... the flora/fauna programmed into their DNA as food is also extinct...

[pstall]

One thing! Lets just make sure ONLY the ones that don't eat humans are brought back.

As a kid, I used to have nightmares of dinosaurs roaming the backyard. Thanks for making me revisit it.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Smaller dinos may do ok. My thinking is, though, if modern man is still the dominant animal on the planet in this hypothetical universe, then the largest of the large would have been hunted to extinction long ago.

If all bets are off on the "modern man" thing, I'm betting some of the winged dinos would have eventually overtaken the food chain.

Then you have some of the small burrowing mammalian species that did survive (pretty much) but evolved into other things...

...and of course, some arthropods like cockroaches...
