Could sauropod(s) (one sauropod, group of sauropods, minimum breeding population, or maximum breeding population) survive in the modern world. In this scenario you can choose if man is present or not. The location is also open for debate. |

I think it will be pretty possible, though depends on the habitat. But I doubt a pack of any predators will dare attck them( depends on size). |

Cryptids don't count. (though I was going to add this to the poll as a joke )For those who say yes and no can you state why? (Maybe a poll was not a good idea) Edited by Mirounga leonina, Nov 19 2015, 01:16 PM.

In the world as it is today, it simply wouldn't be possible. There isn't nearly enough open grazing space available to support a sauropod herd for any extended period of time. If humans weren't around they'd probably do pretty well. |

I disagree a heard of Europasaurus could make it out today. They were not very big at all. ![]() Magyarosaurus could probably make it out today too. Edited by Mirounga leonina, Nov 19 2015, 02:06 PM.

Ah, I thought you were specifying the larger species! indeed smaller species such as Nigersaurus, and Magyarosaurus, would certainly do pretty well.

I was just referring to any. So yes. You said the larger species herds could not survive, how about a sole survivor? |

A sole survivor would most likely do okay. |

Where would be the best place for these dinosaurs to live. Sauropods would need a large area of forested area to graze (also large enough for the forest to recover). Another thing to note would be the difference of flora. They may not even recognize the new flora as food, or even be able to eat it. |

No, because they would be hunted to extinction. There flesh used to feed people, and there bones used (like everything else in nature) as an aphrodisiac. And that's not including the differences in oxygen level, space etc. |

The smaller species could, aside from the probability of them not being able to handle digestion of modern plants. |

I would feel the oxygen level would be debatable due to dinosaurs having bird like lungs. |

I'm also pretty sure oxygen levels today are close to identical to where they were in the late jurassic. I will look it up again though, once I'm not busy.
