The creature in Lake Champlain.. can it really be a dinosaur?
490110
what monster? No real evidence. I have lived near Lake Champlain many years. No one has ever had a good picture of \n"Champ".  perhaps some funny shaped stumps floating or otters, or other animals swimming on the surface. I am a skeptic even though I have friends who say they have seen it. although they are not really sure what they saw.

We can't really prove it. All their insides were decayed, so the only evidence of them being reptiles is their bone structure. But for all we know, they could have been fuzzy, warm blooded, dinosaurs. There is no way to determine either way scientifically, because we can't see a live one.

dinosaur egg... is this a real question?

In the West, we're pretty cynical. We don't believe anything until it's shown to us: hence theories of dinosaurs were laughed at until bones were first turfed up in the 19th Century. Other examples: the komodo dragon, the seahorse, the blue whale, the dodo, the protozoa (tiny microscopic organism), the elephant, the narwhal, the white rhino, the moose, the platypus...the list is endless. And there are still loads of animals we think are myths that may be de-mythed in the future: the yeti, the bunyip, the Loch Ness Monster, the unicorn...

I saw that picture. She had the babies inside her. I can't remember if it was an ichthyosaur or a mesosaur

It is a semi-aquatic antelope, cetaformia anthalopus. Although sightings are rare, they are not unprecedented. This shy and beautiful animal inhabits the rapidly disappearing rain forests of Cambodia and has only once been collected. A partially devoured carcass was obtained from a Khymer Rouge commander by zoologist and former member of Students For A Democratic Society, Dr. J. Walden Pond (yes, his real name)in 1975. The preserved remains can be seen at the Berkeley Museum of Natural History by appointment with the Director of Special Collections, Dr. Stephanie Alderton. You can contact her at salderton@ucberkeley.edu.

I don't think any such monsters exist but yes maybe some ancient reptiles or other species(like coelacath which was thought to be extinct) maybe there.

I was taught that most dinosaurs died out in the flood, but there are references to massive creatures such as the Leviathan and Behemoth in Job that could have been dinosaurs.\n\nI wonder why every culture has tales of "dragons". One idea is that this is so because the early humans had contact with dinosaurs which are also "great lizards" and then some properties like breathing fire got added in the thousands of years that these legends have been around.\n\nAccording to some theories, the Loch Ness monster is a dinosaur.

Sadly, nothing plausible at this time.\n\nMany believers in the Sasquatch have it that the professional zoologists have some kind of conspiracy to cover up the existence of Sasquatch, but in fact most zoologists would be ecstatic if such a new, exciting species were to be found.\n\nThe closest anyone has come to credible evidence is the infamous Patterson film, purportedly of a Sasquatch walking along a creek bed.  There are many technical inconsistencies with the film, as well as anecdotal evidence from costumers that indicate that the film is more likely a hoax than actual footage.

have you ever heard of the bombadier bettle? they are a small bug that sprays liquid at temperatures of 212 degrees Fahrenheit out of its rear by mixing two chemicals. \n\nok so now have you heard of Pachycephalsaurus (i don't know if i spelled that right!) its a dinosaur that has chambers in its  crest. these chambers are similiar to the bombadier beetles chambers. they are conected to its nose and mouth though instead of its butt. its possible that dragon myths were started from these or other now extinct animals

I can't remember the last time I really worried about a dinosaur....\n\nDo you worry about dinosaurs often?\n\nDid this worrying just start, or have you always been worried about dinosaurs?

Could it be one of the Boggy Creek movies or Creature from Black Lake

It's rumored that it may have been an elephant!  Circus's traveled that area a lot in those days and stoped at the Loch to let the animals rest and swim!   If you really look at it, it does VERY closely resemble an elephants trunk, head, ears and back...

Although I probably wouldn't call it a monster, I definitely believe the evidence indicates it exists.  I guess it would certainly seem like a monster except to another Bigfoot. The evidence for Bigfoot goes back to Native American legends.  The footprint evidence alone, for those who really understand it, is extremely compelling.  The consistent reports of its behavior and looks is hard to explain.  Certainly some of this could be due to seeing something on TV but I don't think it accounts for all sightings and certainly not the ones before TV.  It is kind of sad to me that ignorance of this subject is so widespread.  For me it is one of the most interesting of subjects.  \n\nThe person who said that no hair or scat has been found is mistaken.  There has been numerous hairs and scat found.  DNA has so far been unsuccessful in determining origin.  The typcial BF hair lacks a medulla which typcially contains the DNA.  I do think that if someone could get a good hair with a root, it could be proved.  \n\nSomeone said that the wife of someone was in the suit.  Actually the wife of Ray Wallace was in a rediculous fur suit that wouldn't fool a 4 year old but the journalists failed to show the real suit and instead showed the Patterson film suggesting it was her.  The New York Times and other journalist should have been able to figure this out but I guess they don't quite rate up to a 4 year old's intellect.  Well in fact the NYT knew that the woman was in a different suit but it made a better story to suggest that she was the one in the famous film.  The Wallace family is seeking to capitalize on their father Ray, who died recently and who produced numerous hoaxes.  They have apparently even signed a movie deal with Judge Rheinhold.  The story is interesting, but the greatest hoax of all was that he fooled all the journalist in the end.  I really have no reason to think his family is pulling a fraud, they are just ignorant.   Ray Wallace's wooden feet and fur suit were extremely amatuerish.   He gained his interest after a bigfoot visited a construction site that he was contracted to construct, though not present at, above Bluff Creek in Northern California.  The Patterson film showing a female bigfoot walking next to Bluff Creek, 10 years later is real in my opinion.  It certainly wasn't Wallace's wife.  His wife is probably in the suit on this link: http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2005/10/16/bigfoot_narrowweb__200x308.jpg

not completely especially the leg bones. to carry that much weight they would break to easy. however the wings might be since they are no longer used. but modern birds to have the characteristics of dinosaurs that being hollow bones which also means that dinosaurs may have been warm blooded like birds.
