Do dinosaurs Still Exist?

Other than birds, however, there is no scientific evidence that any dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, Apatosaurus, Stegosaurus, or Triceratops, are still alive. These, and all other non-avian dinosaurs became extinct at least 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous Period.

Can dinosaurs come back to life?

Unfortunately, dinosaurs probably cannot be cloned and brought back to life. Their DNA is too old since dinosaurs have been extinct for over 65 million years. Any genetic information is not likely to survive for one million years, so the dinosaurs are simply too old to be cloned.

Can we clone a dinosaur?

"We are a long, long way from being able to reconstruct the DNA of extinct creatures, and in fact it may be impossible to resurrect the DNA of dinosaurs or other long-extinct forms. We have DNA for living creatures, including ourselves, and yet we cannot clone any living animal (from DNA alone).

What if dinosaurs were still alive?

We wouldn't have recognized them

They, too, would have continued to adapt. “There might even be new groups of dinosaurs that didn't exist during the Mesozoic era. The present Earth wouldn't be a hodgepodge of old favorites, but an entirely different mix of unknown dinosaurs,” wrote Switek.

Can we create dinosaurs?

Dig up a fossil today, and any dino-DNA within would have long since fallen apart. That means, as far as scientists know, and even using the best technology available today, it's not possible to make a dinosaur from its DNA.

Can DNA survive millions of years?

Researchers may never be able to extract genetic material that old and bring a T. rex back to life, but a new study suggests DNA can survive in fossils longer than previously believed. The oldest DNA samples ever recovered are from insects and plants in ice cores in Greenland up to 800,000 years old.

Do dragons exist?

Dragons don't exist (as far as we know), but some of their individual characteristics can be found throughout the animal kingdom. It would have taken quite a few turns for natural selection to have produced dragons, but if you're willing to stretch a bit, most classic dragon characteristics do exist in other species.
