According to world famous paleontologist Jack Horner, “Dinosaurs may be extinct from the planet, but they are alive and well in our imaginations. “ Horner’s words illustrate the fact that even though dinosaurs may never come back, they still draw attention in present day. Millions of years ago, dinosaurs breathed, walked, and lived on the face of the Earth. Dinosaurs were the dominant land animals for 160 million years, making them one of the most successful groups of animals ever. They first appeared about 230 million years ago and ruled the Earth for about 135 million years until an extinction event 65 million years ago that wiped out all the dinosaurs. Many individuals are fascinated by these creatures, however, they believe in the benefit

A food chain usually has three levels, the producers, primary consumers, and the secondary consumers. During the Mesozoic Era, many trees and ferns were producers, and herbivores like the Ankylosaurus were primary consumers. This meant that the primary consumers devoured the producers. Then, the secondary consumers consisted of carnivores such as the Spinosaurus. These secondary consumers ate the primary consumers. Today, the producers would be regular plants, the primary consumers would be animals like deer, and the secondary consumers like lions. However, if we add dinosaurs into the mix, this would cause a big disaster in the food chain. The herbivore dinosaurs would start devouring the florae uncontrollably. Secondly, the carnivore dinosaurs' main source of food will be present day animals, not the other dinosaurs. This would place these creatures at the top of the food chain. Individuals can barely even take care of the present day wild creatures living today. Throwing dinosaurs into present day would cause scientists to create a whole different food chain. “First we kill the animals like the dodo... and then we try to bring it back? First we try to kill the environment and then try to fix it? Suppose the Tyrannosaurus Rex does come back, where are we going to put it? Scientists are most likely going to examine it, test it, experiment with it, and then kill it. Then make more, and then kill. What's the use? Scientists are people, not God," says Denise Grady, National Geographic reporter. “Human beings are simply not smart enough nor wise is enough to be messing about in the regeneration of species, regardless of how those species became extinct, which why individuals should be worrying about preserving as many as possible that humans haven't already killed off. I have no objection to storing germ plasma in a kind of DNA
