There are still ancient creatures around of course. Crocs, for example. But I still believe that dinosaurs are extinct. That said, good luck hunting. -------------------- Polaris The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.

I don't know that I would classify that last one as a dinosaur... or the crustacean... or the mammal... or the 'ancient' fish really. Well, maybe the ancient fish, but being once thought extinct doesn't qualify one to be a dinosaur. 1 : any of a group (Dinosauria) of extinct chiefly terrestrial carnivorous or herbivorous reptiles of the Mesozoic era 2 : any of various large extinct reptiles other than the true dinosaurs -------------------- Forever Always on Past the End TrueSite for Blades - Blades Walkthroughs Pixle Profusion - BoE Graphics Archive Posts: 563 | Registered: Tuesday, July 27 2004 07:00 |

I think it's very possible that some dinosaurs are still alive. The examples that he showed were animals supposed to be extinct, by using the same logic as is used to suppose that dinosaurs are extinct. So if these were found to be alive why couldn't a dinosaur be alive in some unexplored place. (There are places yet to be explored.) ------------------ "Yes, there are dinosaurs alive. The proof?

Um, most exciting dinosaurs were big. Rather too big to escape notice, even in "unexplored" places. It's not likely that we're ever going to find a polar-rex. We might find something small (say, on the order of a big lizard), but that's about it. However, the idea that birds are basically what's left of the dinosaurs has been circulating for some time. I don't know how that theory holds up at the moment, but I haven't heard that it's been discredited. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

It has been discredited and recredited several times. Not sure whether it's in style this year or not.

Um, I think a dinosaur is still a dinosaur even if it the size of a chicken. Finding any type of a dinosaur would be exciting. As for unexplored places there are large tracks of jungles in Africa that haven't been explored that are large enough to hide large dinosaurs. Dikiyoba briefly joked about some sightings by the natives about a large dinosaur looking thing in that area. -------------------- "I knocked him out, but I managed to hit the reply button before he fell down."-The person behind him.

One should always question whether a fuzzy screen is truly significant. In this case, probably not. -------------------- Lt. Sullust Cogito Ergo Sum Polaris Posts: 2462 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

From what little outdated knowledge I have on the Loch Ness Monster, I can assure Sullust that... the proof is sketchy at best. Loch Ness is a peat bog. Meaning that all scientists get on the scope is a bunch of fuzzy figures, as all of the peat interferes with just about any reading you can take in a lake, visual especially. -------------------- The Silent Assassin saw Lt.

From the typical place. quote:Also, apparently some of the thingies that still are alive today (unchanged by evolution) are not technically dinosaurs. It was a small sub-class of the range of nasty thud-thud monsters that existed in the way back back (65-230 million years ago). Even though crocs, alligators, and sharks, plus the freakie-deakies on the list are still pumping blood, it just means that they are superior life forms that didn't need to evolve to cope with changes in their habitat. And unless I'm mistaken, there is no actual proof (multiple sighting, photo, etc) that the Ivory billed woodpecker was not hunted to extinction last century. :) -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

There is always a slight probability since new species are being discovered every year, especially in remote places. Any survivors from the dinosaur era will probably be small, but there are still rumors out of Africa of the big one. Good luck hunting and bring it back alive like Professor Challenger in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World. It's not his fault they left the window open.

Who cares about dinosaurs anyway? What I want is a brace of dodos for my mantel. Well, the giant squid was thought a myth for many years and it exists (rarely), so perhaps there are other deep sea creatures dating back to the time of dinos. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."
