There have been live pteradactyl sightings in Texas in the last couple of decades. Are we sure these things are extinct? parsy.

Those aren't pteradactyls; those are just Texas-sized mosquitos!

nothing would surprise me. plesiosaurs and other marine dinos would be my first guess.

the theory of dino extinction is this- the flood was a combination of underground fountains breaking loose and a sheet of high altitude ice crystals melting and raining. before this event, the atmosphere was much denser and more oxygen rich. it didn't rain, there was just heavy condensation.

after the flood, the larger dinos (yes, they were on the ark, probably juveniles) couldn't survive as well because of their inadequate lung capacity versus oxygen requirements. plenty of info on this, just search for 'creationism'.

I don't remember where, but I have seen an old photograph (late 1800's early 1900's) of two cowboys holding a pteradactyl like animal they shot down... I remember something about the native Indians calling them Thunder Birds and there were stories of them snatching babies.

That would be since the Carlos Casteneda books? :-)

Parsi, of course they're extinct! Science says so! Why, the Ceolocanth is extinct too!.....

(I know, they were found in the indian ocean... or so..)
