Yeah maybe. I'm not really sure whether 5 million years is enough time for the rest of the ecosystem to have evolved for their absence in such a way that their return would be disruptive. It's a time frame long enough that I could think maybe it is, but short enough that I'd also not be too surprised to learn it isn't.
