Deinosuchus may be more closely related to alligators than crocodiles, but in terms of skull shape the opposite is true.  |

How would the Utahraptor fare in Africa, when put against Elephants, Hippos, Rhinos, Giraffes, Buffalo's, and Lions?

One animal I have always wondered about is reintroducing the Steppe Mammoth back to the midwest... Just because I think it would be awesome to drive around a bend in the road and see a 15 ton animal in Iowa!! Instead of lame old deer...

Attack, eat your fill, then latch off of them and run like hell lol |

How would Spinophorosaurus fare in the African Savannah?

It is very large, but assuming it can outcompete some elephant populations, it should be able to survive.

How would Carcharocles megalodon fare in the Western Interior Seaway (~85 million years ago)?

Wondering about tyrannosaurines on wild areas of the extreme south of South America.

Infinity BladeShouldn't be much of a problem. Assuming it is only one or very few specimens, it/they can scare off smaller predators from dinosaur carcasses in the ocean which should provide a good meal. If it can't find them, preying on mosasaurs would be another option. @felidae I can't think of any large enough prey in Southern Argentina, this would have to be a very small one. Whale carcasses on the beach would be the only option for a larger one.

creature386I guessed that as well, another interesting idea would be a prey item from the tyrannosaurine's original ecosystem being introduced in the same biome.

Normally, the predator needs its prey in a 1:10 ratio though (this means 10 t of herbivores can feed 1 t of carnivores on long term). Therefore, one may be not enough. I am not sure if this ten rule can be applied though, it really sounds like a lot. Even when considering that you don't just need herbivores for food, but also for stable population sizes.

How would the African lion (a pride) fare in the Southeast Asian rainforests? Try to incorporate tigers into the mix

As it is a pride, they could easily outcompete the tigers. But as the rainforest animals are generally smaller than their preferred savannah food, I don't like their chances so much.
