From all the articles and pictures I’ve seen about them over the years, I doesn’t appear to me that they are quite as rare as reported.
Weird how a lot of stuff the wacky liberals told us went extinct is showing up again. Weird. Another RAT scam for more taxpayer dollars.
We need more beer. I mean, more money for diving gear.
Joe many times do they need to make this as “news”? I remember visiting Harvard’s Museum of Natural Sciences decades ago and saw one on display with descriptions more or less like the story above, but from 1930s.
I think it’s just a matter of time before we find living dinosaurs in Africa.
Correct.
We don’t need to go to Africa. Just set up hidden cameras in the democrat cloakroom in Congress.
The combination of the seniority system and supermajority seats in one party states sets up a perfect Lost World scenario.
No matter what we think, there are still unexplored places on this world...
Coelecanth found off coast of California
There are many "living fossils" (mostly dull stuff like mollusks) that are found deep in the fossil record and then found alive without showing up in upper strata. The Wollemi pine is another well-known example. Finding a dinosaur would actually be anti-climatic at this point.
I don't believe any dinosaurs are still around though. People don't understand the degree to which viable habitats have been surveyed by people all over the globe. It's one thing to identify a plant as a slightly different species or to identify a small mammal as a slightly different sub-species from those previously known, but a dinosaur would stand out. Not to mention their tracks, scat, physical remains when dead and so on.
Wonder what it would taste like deep fried? With Beer Batter
Weren’t we suppose to be losing 1000 species a day? YET... We still keep discovering new species. I can’t hink of a single animal that has become extinct in my near 60 years on this rock. Maybe there are but I haven’t heard about it.

The Passenger Pigeon was only a little before your time, and mine.
I’m with you. The idiots are making extinct wolves and now they want to make Wooly Mammoths. People who rely on government grants to keep their scams going are thieves.
While not yet totally extinct, the Northern White Rhinocerous is down to ONE breedable adult, but her father was the last male, and he died in 2018.

Who documented its existence 70 million years ago? Was it transcribed on a stone?
