      They lived so very long ago that it seems very unlikely any complete dino DNA will have survived. If it has survived, then theoretically the DNA could be put into an egg of a related living species (oh yes – I’ve read and watched Jurassic Park 🙂 ). But I don’t it’s very likely.

      The chances of something evolving exactly the same way as dinosaurs again is highly unlikely, especially with the species we have now.
      So unless something actively tries to make it, then no I doubt it.
      Also with Christl I have read both Jurassic Park and watched the film, Jurassic Park is amazing- the book is even better!

      Hi Tae, like the others have said, I think it is unlikely they will come back.

      But I think it is really interesting to try and imagine the type of creatures that will evolve in the future instead, especially with how the climate on earth is changing now.
