[QUOTE=DrBreen;37065654]Well considering birds are small and dinosaurs are fucking huge i think your statement is wrong

The bigger you are, the more oxygen you need[/QUOTE]

Then how did animals like Paraceratherium exist up until about 20 mya, an animal larger than a Tyrannosaurus?

Non-Avian Dinosaurs could probably do just fine with modern day atmosphere without feeling out of breath, they were hot rods compared to other animals and were well adapted to a wide range of environments. Most Birds have a hard time running out of breath, overheating and lactic acid buildup are what slows them down the most.
Modern Birds have always been small even during the Mesozoic, Avian Dinosaurs appeared around the Early Cretaceous and rarely got larger than a Turkey until the Non-Avian Dinosaurs went extinct, and with only Mammals to get into an arms race with most of them they stayed small.

[QUOTE=Mlisen14;37053225]Don't get excited. Clive Palmer is a fucking idiot. The fact that he even managed to hold conversation with the scientists who cloned Dolly is both incredible and embarrassing.

The only equivalent I can think of is George Bush. He somehow had the cunning to make it big but must be almost entirely reliant on advisors because he is just so ridiculously unfit to be that powerful.[/QUOTE]

This sounds like the novel version of John Hammond.

Oh, God, we're fucked.

[QUOTE=MajorMattem;37052361]Damn right. Giant reptiles that went extinct roughly 65.5 million years ago? COUNT ME IN.

Infact, if it works, why not send the cast and crew of jurrasic park there, as the first visitors?

What could go wrong?[/QUOTE]
Just send Jeff Goldblum.
