Realistically speaking, what would it actually take to run a “prehistoric life” zoo?
>>5133989Jurassic Park probably got it more right than wrong. You'd need a ton of land and you'd have to manage it more like a park or reservation than a zoo. Since outsourcing feed and waste disposable would likely be impossible and create too many logistical issues for it to be financially sustainable. On land you're looking around 90:1 prey to predator mass to have anything sustainable and won't get toxic from nitrogen waste. So you'd have a lot of boring things that graze and maybe one trex or anything really big.
>>5133993I’ve heard that the Earth had more oxygen in the atmosphere during the Mesozoic and so bigger non-avian dinosaurs would find difficult if not impossible to just breath today. How would this impact the project?
>>5134129other way around dumb dumb, triassic had way lower O2 levels than today, dinosaurs evolved superior lungs and air sacs to cope with it. When O2 levels got up, but roughly on our level, almost never beyond it, the fact that they could consume O2 more efficiently helped then have giagantic sizes despite the same level of O2 on our atmosphere.The O2-size thing is more about bugs and amphians that breathe by their skin instead of lungs or gills.I would be more worried about their immune system, they could be comprimessed by evolved germs of today or not effected at all because of genetic forgottenes sice they were extict by million of year. It can go either way.Also love that manga.
Dino nuggies.
