I thought I found something cool

Live pterosaurs in Papua New Guinea. I've found several articles verifying such claims, but all of the videos have been removed by their users on Youtube (probably because they were fabricated). It sucks. Wouldn't it be amazing for such animals to have survived extinction?

 

flying predators with wing spans up to 10 meters? No thank you!

 

Riding a flying predator with wing span up to 10 meters? Why yes, of course I'd like to.

Surviving dinosaurs would be The most awesome thing ever. Along with surviving mammoths. Mammoths are awesome. Also great for riding. I'd like that they could clone mammoths or genetically alter the chickens to get little raptors. I'd train those and possibly ride the bigger ones. Who needs bear cavalry when you can have a Triceratops cavalry supported by a large numbers of Pachycephalasauruses rushing in front and haedbashing all that is bashable..

 

As far as I can tell, mammoth cloning is being planned. They should clone neandertals and denisovans too, once the genome has been mapped. I wonder if they could adapt as we have.

 

That will sort out world hungry for sure.

 

According to eye witnesses, there are dinosaurs in Africa, as well as Papua New Guinea. The only problem is finding video or photographic proof that corroborates such claims. I think I just need to go and explore these places myself. I'll bring a camera, and a whole mess of bug spray.

 

This is what I think.

 

As good as these Lost Worlds sound, it's quite impossible to miss out an area that is big enough to support some huge ridable dinosaurs. You can't expect one family of stegosauruses doing an incest trough millions of years in some secluded area behind a cave inside a magical forest.
There's also, what is called, evolution. 65+ millions of years is quite a bit of a time and those pterodactyles would have evolved into ducks or something by now.

It sucks that we know almost every corner of this world...
IF, these were the 1890s, then I'd already be on my voyage to find Syberia or possibly a Skull Island.[/quote]

 

Look out your window. You can probably see or hear a half dozen or so animals belonging to the Dinosauria clade. There are still dinosaurs alive. In fact you can buy a few of the chirpy bastards at your local pet store.

The only place a "lost world" type dinosaur could possibly be found alive is in the deepest parts of the oceans, where we haven't been able to yet catalog all the known species that live down there (to the best of my recollection anyways).
