The partially-preserved corpse was unearthed by an electrician cleaning out a sub-station left untouched for 35 years

The discovery of a mysterious creature resembling a dinosaur with flesh still on its bones has left scientists baffled.

The partially-preserved corpse was uncovered by an electrician cleaning out a sub-station left untouched for 35 years.

The creature – which was found in Jaspur, a small city in Uttarakhand, India – has now been sent for analysis, including carbon dating, which will reveal its age.

Experts say that although it looks like a small dinosaur that could be near impossible as flightless dinosaurs have been extinct for 65 million years.

Dr Parag Madhukar Dhakate, a Conservator with the Indian Forest Service, said that the creature would remain an enigma until scientific analysis had been completed.

He said: “It looks like a dinosaur, but we can't say anything until all the tests are done.”

Aaryan Kumar, who is pursuing a PhD in Paleontology from Delhi University, told local media that it was impossible for a dinosaur skeleton to be so well preserved after so long.

How did the two kangaroos get all the way from Noah’s arc to Australia without leaving any bones between the near east and Australia? Now we know, the ‘Roos stopped in India....

And, there's evidence that the Indian subcontinent crashed into Asia, creating the Himalayas.

Nothing amazing about this. They already found a T-Rex leg-bone with fresh red blood cells and flexible soft tissue. This is a natural follow-on. And btw, that’s not a kangaroo’s head.
