Do the Dinosaurs Still Walk Among Us?

Do the Dinosaurs Still Walk Among Us?

Dinosaurs are probably the best-known group of prehistoric animals, and were the dominant form of life during the Mesozoic Era or “The Age of Reptiles.” The Mesozoic Era ended 65 million years ago after an asteroid struck the Earth. Officially, the only dinosaurs that survived that cataclysm were the birds. There are those, however, that maintain the fact that certain species of these large, scaly beasts are still alive, albeit hidden in the jungles of Africa or deep beneath the sea. Our only hope to interact with these animals may be to restore them to their former glory via cloning, a la Jurassic Park. But how close are we to actually making this a reality? Read on…

For centuries, there have been rumors of creatures resembling non-avian dinosaurs still roaming the planet. The Loch Ness Monster is probably the most famous of these “cryptids” or hidden animal species. The Mokele-Mbembe, which is said to roam the Congo basin in Africa, is often described as resembling a sauropod like Apatosaurus. It is supposedly around 35 feet long, which begs the question of how it has managed to stay hidden so well for so long. However, in Texas and parts of South America as well, reports also abound of Pterosaur-like creatures near shorelines and roadways. Could there still be species of giant reptiles walking among us?

The fact is, new species of large animal are not found with frequent regularity. Most of the “latest” additions to the animal kingdom are very small — like insects or frogs. Occasionally, though, scientists find something that truly takes them aback. Several new primate species, for instance, have been found since the turn of the century. Scientists have also discovered certain “cryptic species” like the Carolina hammerhead shark, which was discovered in 2013 and looks more or less identical to the scalloped hammerhead. It has ten fewer vertebrae, however, and is genetically different from its more common counterpart.

Unfortunately, despite what Jurassic Park may have us thinking, scientists will likely never be able to clone a dinosaur if they cannot find a “real” one. Beth Shapiro, an evolutionary biologist and author of the book, How to Clone a Mammoth, believes it simply isn’t possible. Once a species is extinct, there are no living cells left from that species. Even if you have a well-preserved carcass to work with, there is still going to be damage to both the tissues and the DNA. Shapiro therefore doubts attempts to resurrect extinct animals will ever be successful.

Paleontologist Jack Horner on the other hand, disagrees and believes it might be possible to recreate dinosaurs by using their nearest living relatives, the birds. Scientists have already been able to engineer birds with teeth and dinosaur-like mouths, so it should technically be possible to engineer birds that increasingly resemble dinosaurs. Other scientists are trying to create new animals with the attributes of prehistoric relatives. George Church is trying to create a hardier Asian elephant that has some of the features of the wooly mammoth. Hypothetically, this animal would be able to survive in a greater range of habitats than current Asian elephants – which are at risk due to rapidly warming climates.

A Russian geophysicist, Sergey Zimov, owns Pleistocene Park, a nature reserve where he has been studying the impact of large herbivores like horses and bison on the ecosystem. He believes that mammoths helped sustain Siberian grasslands, improving the soil and keeping erosion at bay. Taking his word, the extinction of the mammoth affected the environment more than the changing climate did. Hypothetically, modern cold-tolerant elephants like Church’s could help stabilize the permafrost in Siberia, which is now rapidly melting.

If scientists can clone facsimiles of extinct animals, they should be able to do the same thing with endangered species and thus preserve them. This could work, for we already know what certain species need. Anyone effectively trying to bring back a living thing – be it a dinosaur, a mammoth, or a plant – will have to consider its needs and habits. An organization called the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive is already cloning giant trees like redwoods and planting them in various countries, for huge trees can absorb vast amounts of carbon dioxide. Additionally, Canadian power company Enmax has been developing genetically engineered algae to clean up oil spills and prevent any further damage to our environment.


Current techniques for cloning animals, however, are inefficient. For every 1000 attempts, only 1 to 30 are successful. Surviving cloned animals are often born with abnormally large organs that impair their health. Scientists therefore need to refine and improve cloning methods to produce healthier living specimens, as well as find out more fully how the genome works to create certain aspects of anatomy. So while the premise of Jurassic Park will likely remain science fiction forever, there is hope that we may utilize similar science to save our own species before it’s too late.

Unparalleled Preservation: Near-Perfect Young Dinosaur Fossil Found in Bavaria

Unparalleled Preservation: Near-Perfect Young Dinosaur Fossil Found in Bavaria

The carnivorous dinosaur, found in Bavaria, Germany, has not yet been named.

German paleontologists have discovered what they believe is the best-preserved dinosaur skeleton ever found in Europe. Some 98 percent of the fossil found in the southern state of Bavaria is intact, and it will soon be placed on display for a short time in Munich.

The discovery of young, unnamed dinosaur fossils is rare, but on Wednesday researchers in southern German state of Bavaria announced they had uncovered an almost perfect specimen. The flesh-eating member of the theropod subgroup, which walked on its hind legs, is among the best preserved specimens of its kind worldwide, said Oliver Rauhut, conservator of Bavaria’s state paleontological and geological collections (BSPG) in Munich.

 

The fossil found in the central Bavarian community of Kelheim is about 98 percent complete, and also includes preserved bits of skin. “The around 135-million-year-old fossil is of outstanding scientific importance,” dinosaur expert Rauhut told the German news agency DPA.A number of similar fossils have been found in China, he said, but they are not as well-preserved. “From far away they often look complete,” he said. “But up close one sees that the bone preservation is not that great.”

On Display in Munich

Though the 72-centimeter juvenile dinosaur is preserved in stone, a number of anatomical details remain. “The best-preserved Tyrannosaurus we have are about 80 percent preserved, and that is already terrific,” said Rauhut, comparing the two theropods, which are among the rarest dinosaur fossils.

 

Most of the fossils in this group exist in only fragments, said Dan Ravasz, spokesman for the upcoming mineral exhibition, The Munich Show, a trade fair dedicated to minerals, germs, jewellery and fossils that runs for four days starting on Oct. 27.The experts aren’t certain just how old the dinosaur was when it died, though they estimate that a freshly hatched Tyrannosaurus would have been about the same size. They were able to determine that the specimen is young by measuring the size of its skull, body proportions and the bone surface. Learning more about young dinosaurs is important for scientists to understand more about their evolutionary process.

The fossil, discovered between one and two years ago, has been registered as a German cultural asset, giving it a status that drastically lowers its monetary worth, but ensures the artefact will remain in the country. Ravasz declined to reveal the exact location of the discovery or its owner, but said it would later be loaned to a museum.

Forbidden Cures   The FDA actively ignores, bans, or outright demonizes legitimate cures that threaten the Big-Pharma establishment (they control FDA, not the other way around as it should be)

Galactic Anomalies  Things are happening in space that are not natural phenomena. Scientists are forced to apply bogus explanations to UFO activity, Planetoids movement, Kuipers Belt activity, etc.

Ghosts   Energy ‘echos’ left imprinted into the fabric of space-time. Significant emotional experiences seem to leave the biggest impressions, resulting in the most common earth-plane paranormal experiences.

Hybrid Humans may indeed be hybrids of the ‘original Human’ coming from the Lyrea star system.  Perhaps we have lost our own history, or it has been intentionally re-written and packaged, for reasons of control.

Immunity Boosting   Vitamin D, Vitamin C, and other natural cures exist that could eliminate the need for synthetic pharma chemicals.

Nephilim  Reference to beings in Ancient Texts. Apparently translates to “Those from heaven to earth, came”

New World Order   Buzzword given to the globalist movement, pushing humanity towards a one world government, religion, and monetary system. Think, corrupt government hidden ‘within’ public government.

Nutrition   The best nutrition seems to be the eastern medicines and holistic ‘natural’ treatments. If its natural, its not patentable. Meaning, synthetics are profitable, and naturals, are not.

Off World Colonies   There are carefully groomed and selected members of the population that have been indoctrinated into new colonies, off-planet.  Gary McKinnon found evidence of this in his NASA hack, and many other black project insiders have spoken in detail about this.

Orgone   Some kind of undisclosed life-force Energy that can be drawn from space-time. Might be similar to chi, mana, and other cultural terms found throughout history.

Shaman   The spiritual leaders that led, and still lead small native communities in becoming one with nature, awareness of self, protection of mother earth. Basically, someone to explain the thunderstorms, lightning, etc.

Star Wars   Missile defence system used to Bankrupt the Russians in the cold war?  Or ultra secret space weaponry designed to ‘protect’ the earth. Verdict still out.

Strawman   The corporate ‘self’ every American agrees to represent. This is not the natural person, for it is the STRAWMAN, the shell corporation used to deal with you in a ‘legal’ matter. Apparently you can separate yourself from this legally, though no known successful proven record exists to date.

Sumeria   This is the first known civilization with a recorded history on tablets and artwork.  They had knowledge of the stars, planets, agriculture, mathematics, and obviously language. Spoke of the Nephilim. ~4500 BC – ~2500 BC. Popped up out of no where, faded away and society dispersed.

The Beast   Many eerie references in the bible. Mark of, and such. This is suspected to be the AI Supercomputer scanning all known intelligence in real time. ID Chips and RFID tags are said to be the indicators that bible prophecy is coming true.

UFO   Misnomer, in that they are not ‘unidentified’.  In most cases, they are either black budget advanced craft, or actual ET visitation.  Most unwarranted ET visitation is shot at, or downed and retrieved on purpose. Evidence shows that we are hostile towards them, so appearance is less common in highly populated areas.

Vaccines   Too much evidence exists that unhealthy additives are not only found in these consistently; they may also be used to spread a bio-weapon, such as AIDS (one of the few that has been proven to be engineered)

Weather Modification   Has been a wet dream of the military since the early sixties, maybe fifties.  Speculation has been raised that it was used to soak the VC with rain in Vietnam, since the US had few other advantages.

Zionism   Not to be confused with Judaism, though the connection is often made.  Hard to pinpoint the real definition, as it is more a movement towards consolidated control, under one world government.
