Dem bones walk around again?

Allosaurus in the entrance hall of the American Museum of Natural History NYC. 150 million years ago, A was a successful carnivore, size wise like an elephant of today, but half the weight, therefore very likely rather quick and agile (in warm weather). It is of course great fun to put, anachronistically, man and dinosaur in the arena and see what happens. In the arena, Allosaurus would indeed shred you to pieces. In the greater scheme of things, however, dinosaurs would have not the slightest chance against a being with unlimited behavioral resources and authority over any type of environment. Dinosaurs brought back to life would have good reason to be afraid of us.
