2) Where would they live ? Zoos ? Are any wild environments today capable of supporting them in sufficient number for them to remain viable.
Firstly, i'm not condoning the idea of cloning them back into existence, i'm simply replying to the question
Seems like the areas they used to roam are more or less homo sapien free, they could very well thrive in the Arctic and Siberian tundras...IF the gene pool could sustain enough diversity.
I can't see them marching far enough south into Canada and over the boarder in the US (i'd like to see a pot-bellied TSA perv try and strip search a mammoth trying to cross the US/Canadian boarder...i can see it now "oi you, what's in the trunk?!" lol), or far east enough to trouble the Chinese
As for dinos...hell no, i've seen that film as well, it didn't end to well for some of those dinos
Now this dino was the biggest carnivore to ever exist (i think, not counting Megladon, that's a fish and not a dino), this guy would be well able to look after himself from those pesky humans
