sorry, but that looks more like a horned lizard to me (something to do with it having a tail) - as far as i know, most frogs and toads lose the last vestiges of their tails in the transition from tadpole to mature growth (unless he's been to a re-tail shop:hmm: )

The only amphibian to retain a vestige of tail is the axolite?(real spelling would be nice!!?? please:blush:

Hi, credits not mine, stole it directly from another crypozoology forum, looks better there because I had to reduce the size to post it... cryptozoology.com I think, but I can't be sure

Yeah, its a lizard. But its called a Horned Toad. Like a Fisher Cat isn't a cat.
I've seen it as Horny Toad too.

Like in Old Yeller? It's a tragic tragic film, but I just can't help sniggering when little Travis swaps the dog for his horny toad...

sorry Very Happy

Cheers for the info, Swan. Smile I think it looks rather good as dino pics go, though it's almost certainly a fake, just coz photos of cryptids don't get that good. I don't recall seeing that exact dino in Walking with Dinos but he does look like he was made with the same technology. Still, feathers... Wicked!

An interesting site, called drdino.com puts forward the creationist argument for dinosaurs being recent (pre-flood) creations of God and that some, like Nessie and the Lake Champlain Monster, are still alive.

Some, no doubt, often seen pictures here,
www.drdino.com.

The site is full of other weird and wonderful, anti-evolutionist stuff (and anti-US Government. Of course they can't be 'anti-American' because they're Fundamentalist Christians).

Well, all newts and salamanders have tails... you might be thinking of the axolotl keeping its gills into adulthood (neoteny) which occurs in a few other salamanders as well.

There is one family of frogs, the Ascaphidae, called 'tailed frogs', which appear to have a tail, but it's actually a sort of penis.

thats cool...i always thought it was impossible that all dinosaurs died out...but why don't these ones leap out and snack on some tasty humans?!?confused
can someone explain this to me?? im only 13...Sad wise beyond my years...roll eyes (sarcastic) lol

You ever hear how sharks often let a man go after attacking? The theory is that the shark uses its mouth as "hands," if you will; in essence feeling something it is not used to seeing (the human), and letting an attacked human go once it realizes that said human is not food. That could be a reason the Rex didn't attack: it didn't recognize humans as its normal food source.

A better reason, imho, that the Rex didn't attack is because it had a huge-ass rhino to eat instead. Why eat puny humans when there's a friggin' rhino to munch on?

The pictures of the Pleisosauraus dragged up by the Japanese trawler look like something out of a Harryhausen pic. Still, they are the most convincing thing there IMO. I see no reason why such things wouldn'tsurvive today at great depths in the Pacific.
