Cool! Except for the 65 million years part. The cause of the dinosaurs' extinction is still debated by scientists. The cause is not the only thing still debated, or even that they are entirely extinct. Dinosaurs were just big lizards and very likely lived with human beings. Some may even be alive today.

And when you aren't watching, they eat from your table.

Oh my. I'm certain you have plenty of evidence to support both the contentions you made above, otherwise you wouldn't have made them. I'd like to see what you've got, if you don't mind.

There's no evidence of that which I know of, perhaps you do. BC comic strips don't count.

Heard a piece on Radio Canada's "As It Happens" last year. Seems a guy found a new species of dinosaur (down under, IIRC) a while back and named it.

Unfortunately, a bug professor discovered that the name had already been used for a beetle or some other insect.

He goes over to the dinosaur dept. and points it out. They tell him you found the mistake, you go contact the original
finder and tell him to pick another name.

Bug guy gets news the dino finder guy died. Goes back to the dino dept. "Well, you found the mistake, you pick a
name." "How about 'Big Dead Lizard' (in Latin, of course, also one half of an inter department joke, the other half
being about bugs.)?" "Fine with us." And so it was, corrected and renamed in all the science documents.

However, the original dino finder was still alive, and didn't have the same sense of humor as the bug guy's fellow profs across campus.

Very unfortunate for the dino finder. Nothing he can do about it now. Anyway, new dino finds are rare, maybe once
in a hunter's life time, if the hunter is lucky.

With beetles, it's like uh, okay, you messed up. You get to name the next beetle...

Some may even be alive today, their called "BIRDS". Dinosaurs may have been warm-blooded, reptiles are not...Down under, the Water Monitor and some Boas...are somewhat different, they can elevate their temp. a few degrees.

I wouldn't go that far to say Homo sapiens and dinosaurians were contemporaries. Nonetheless, Rajasaurus narmadensis was a created being, just like everything else in this universe.
