In english I wrote an essay article with the topic "Could Dinosaurs Survive In Todays Enviroment"

it isnt offical so i am not going to link the page, but ill just copy it here, now i did make this a while ago so some infomation may be inaccurate, but hay, i did my best.

Could dinosaurs survive in today's environment? The short answer really just depend on the dinosaurs itself. Jurassic park, Primeval & Prehistoric park, these programs set up the idea that a dinosaurs could survive today whether they are cloned or taken through time portals. All information was hard to come across, so this essay will consist of only what is known at that time. Dinosaurs vary in size, shape, build, and habitat. You probably wouldn't have time to read about every single dinosaurs, so two examples will be made. Tyrannosaurus Rex and Leaellynasaura Amicagraphica. All three tv programs mentioned above feature Tyrannosaurus, but none feature leaellynasaura. To find out which two could and couldn't survive we will need to ask two questions. What were their conditions like then? And what is it like now? Tyrannosaurus Rex is a large theropod and probably the most famous dinosaurs ever, so no description is needed. It can common be found in the Hell Creek formations, Montana. Back then, it was a very strange habitat. It was a hot climate with large quantities  of water and plants. Unlike today's 20+% oxygen levels, hell creek had 35+% oxygen as well as 3 times more carbon dioxide. Because of all the carbon dioxide, the plants grew quicker, since plant grew faster, the herbivores thrived in abundance. But didn't herbivore numbers didn't go to high because of all the carnivore and natural disasters. Wildfires, floods and storms were all common to hell creek. Whether Rex's had feathers or not is debated, what role feathers would have played is also debated. What's more, Tyrannosaurus had a strange life cycle, starting off with long skinny legs for quick speed and pack hunting. After many years the rex will lose its speed for brute force and size. Hell creek today looks much much different, a desert full of hills and mountains, plants and water are limited. So Trex wouldn't survive in its former habitat, so we will consider another place for them. First of all we need to consider the oxygen difference, 15% is a big change, living here would be like living at the base camp of everest, they would tired all the time and would be too puffed to hunt. It would require huge amounts of time to adapt to the oxygen, but what will it eat? Food is a big problem, you would have to place them in areas with large animals like africa or asia, but how would it react to food so different to what it's use to, will it be allergic? Although all the larger animals are in asia and africa, i doubt it would survive in either. The best way to keep one alive and healthy would be to keep it in captivity, but who knows how it would react to captivity? Some animals can’t survive in captivity or are just too hard and a Tyrannosaurus might be one of them.

So we’re putting the Tyrannosaurus Rex as a no go...

Leaellynasaura Amicagraphica is a small dryosaurus looking dino from Dinosaur Cove, Victoria. Unlike the rex’s late cretaceous time period, Amicagraphica lived in the early cretaceous period. Polar australia was full of snow, forest and was dark for most the year. As summer ends the larger dinosaurs migrate north, the sun stops showing itself and the snow rises from the ground, the Leaellynasaura stays behind because it can survive there better then the larger ones. Their skin is covered in feathers and they likely used each other's help to survive, they also had large eyes for seeing in dark environments. The oxygen estimates stand at maybe 10 to 15%. Today victoria isn't very different depending on where you go. Alot has been turned into cattle country, but there is still plenty of ferns filled forests covering heaps of area. The weather is still rather cold for most the year but in the heat, bushfires tend to rage around. Now a Amicagraphica would have only need night vision eyes at night and the temperature is warmer, the increase in oxygen might be benefit them, they may or may not be allergic to the plant life and the huge amount of prickly blackberry bushes could have an effect. If leaellynasaura were as big as some of the larger herbivore it lived with than food could become a bigger problem than it already is. Leaellynasaura Amicagraphica has a high survival chance, better chances than that of the Tyrannosaurus.
