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.

Dinosaur, a cold-blooded reptile, with flesh on its bones? Looks like a match.
