Are the dinosaur's extinct?

Well, I think that it is possible for them to have lived, but not likely. I do think that the raptors/Troodons lived many million years after the death of the other dinosaurs, but not more than 7-10 million years.

Same as Delta here. Even if there are many unexplored places on the Earth, I don`t think dinosaurs are still alive. :P

There are sightings of of mokele mbembe a supposed sauropod said to look like apatosaurus that lives in the congo, kasai rex a creature that supposedly is a Tyrannosaur that prowls the african plains, but my favorite is the Burrunjor an Australian dinosaur cryptid that resembles a theropod dinosaur that is like a neovenatorid allosaur like Australovenator, or Megaraptor. The Burrunjor is described as being a giant lizard according to aboriginal mythology. Based on sightings it is 25 feet long and has small clawed hands and walks on two bipedal legs. Through the 1950s, Australian cattle ranchers have reported a large creature leaving bipedal tracks was eating their livestock. Also, earlier aboriginal accounts suggest that is it a reptilian animal (possibly with feathers) that ate kangaroos and other large animals. If it weren't for the bipedal footprint sightings, the burrunjor could also be a Megalania, a prehistoric giant monitor lizard that lived in the area more recently, base on the aboriginal description. But i look at these in a fun manner and not necessarily as fact i believe true dinosaurs are extinct but some do live on as birds.

Very interesting. It seems pretty legit.

I'm not convinced.

It's hard to say things can be faked, but another strange thing about the burrunjor is that there are many old aboriginal rock paintings that seem to depict a dinosaur and these were made long before even western science had an idea of what dinosaurs actually looked like but again things can be faked

Well, while it couldn`t be a dinosaur, it`s still a big animal out there.

Well some people think it may be a Megalania a 25 foot Komodo Dragon that lived in Australia 30,000 years ago which MAY actually hold some truth because they have found a Megalania skull that was only 400 years old when they were supposed to be driven to extinction by Aborigines 30,000 years earlier [img]http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m168/coastwizard/Cryptozoology/Megalania/7.jpg[/img]

I could believe that.

Yeah, Australia is a huge country, very wild and little explored.

And hot too. It wouldn't be strange for a large lizard requiring lots of newt to be able to thrive there.

I don't think non-avian dinosaurs(creatures like T-rex and Allosaurus), but avian dinosaurs are around Birds are avian dinosaurs and are now recognized as such.

Well I know for sure the larger dinosaurs would not have survived (Because of the meteorite theory). But Novaraptors, Troodons and V-Raptors could have (though some of these didn't live in the last million years of the dinosaurs). Larger reptilian creatures may have survived if they hadn't died out before the death of the dinosaurs. (Moschops and Dimetrodon)

Novaraptor is a made up species in Primal Carnage. Not a real raptor ;)

I thought so

I would love to believe they aren't extinct. When you think about it, the people living in the Congo don't know what a dinosaur is or what they are supposed to look like, so what they describe could very well be a dinosaur (assuming the people who come back and talk about these natives describing "dinosaurs"). Also, we don't have definite proof that they did go extinct. Just because we don't find them in certain rock layers doesn't mean they weren't there. Maybe we're looking in the wrong places. But then again, we won't ever have any proof that they still exist until someone captures a live dinosaur.

New megafauna is still being discovered (billi ape) and in remote rainforests, many animals are known from good evidence (South America- pelt and skull of a "spotted tiger". South America- "maned cougar" known from a picture and a skull. South America- red ground sloth known from feces, hair, pictures, torn up trees, local sightings and legends. Africa- "Dodi" . Known from video, pictures, hair, a club and alleged bones. Resembles a large gorilla, but uses tools like a Neanderthal. Africa- " Mngwa" large black cat with a bristly coat known from pictures, hair, official sightings, unknown DNA collected from saliva on mauled corpses from a village. Africa- "Marozi"- known from official sightings, skulls, pelts, pictures and legends. Resembles "simba", a normal lion, but is smaller and has faint spots. Thought to be a leopard-lion hybrid, possible and occasionally reported by people in Africa. Africa- nandi bear, a large hyena or ground sloth, described as large, carnivorous, slope backed and deadly. Known from pictures and many accounts. Russia, Canada and Alaska- golden bear, Kachi bear and short faced bear. All three are known from pelts and large skulls kept in museums. They are all possibly synonymous, being described as a pale yellow-white colored and huge in size. Asia- many species of bear, photographed and a known variety exist, according to natives. Australia- megalania, called "ripper lizard". It is reported that near one large unexplored area of the outback, giant lizards reside. On the outside, there are farms. Many farmers report seeing giant lizards described as "30 feet long, seven feet tall with a huge head" coming on to their farms and eating their cows, leaving only half of the bovine and tracks behind before leaving to the forests. The giant lizards are reported to be brown or black with white speckles and mottling on their body. Preachers and farmers from the area have reported them consistently as 30 feet long, white and black or brown, living in the one area and eating cattle during the evening. The people who guide tours have refused to enter the woodlands for centuries, fearing the lizards. African Congo- bird of terror. Described as a very large and heavy bird with a short tail and large head. Covered in feathers. Measures about twenty feet, has large and sharp teeth. Sounds like a dinosaur to me. I think some non-avian dinosaurs survived, but not for long. Maybe a few million years. However, there are undiscovered giant animals. In particular I like Megalania's odds. Terrible lizards could survive in its form.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that a farmer found a large lizard skull on his farm. A scientist carbon dated it to only 100-200 years old.

Hmmm... interesting.
