Well... As they point out in the World movies the creatures were never dinosaurs. They were generic chimeras that looked like dinosaurs.

I never understood the whole "They're making a weapon" plotline though. Unless the weapon makers are either nihilists or libertarians. Oh!

Edit: caveat, I've only seen one of the world movies and then a trailer for one of the others.

I read somewhere that if we could bring back a dinosaur, it wouldn’t survive long, because of the oxygen concentration in our atmosphere. Is it true?

I may have heard a similar thing on a video that compared an elephant sized mouse with a mouse sized elephant.

Neither could survive because evolution designed their bodies for the relative pressure they exist in. This is also related to how fast their hearth beats go.

Human sized bugs could not exist for the same pressure reason also.
