am I just missing the pic? huh.gif

Ah, never mind...stupid slow computer.

I am going out on a limb and calling fake...but it's not a bad photo-shop. tongue.gif

No, it is not.

You have linked the image from the homepage of a Mr. Levene. http://www.lglevene.com

On the right of the page is a long list of his creative works, including something about Sir Authur Conan-Doyles 'The Lost World'. Clicking on it takes you to this page:

http://www.lglevene.com/aande_lostworld/challengerz_site/

Which, i am to assume, is a site dedicated to a 'real' lost world supposed to be written by 'Challenger' the main character in the Lost World story.

The image, i feel, has been created by Mr. Levene for the site, as advertisement of his 'interactive artwork' portfoilo'.
Since he claims to be an expert at editing images and graphic design, i have no reason to assume this image is anything but.

oh well i guess its fake. sad.gif

It was a neat find, though, Crypto! Too bad it wasn't real. happy.gif

hahah besides, i think if someone saw something like that on the plains of africa, they'd take a much better picture, and a hell of alot of them. You can't really miss that. laugh.gif

Something about that area looked habitied to me. Really habitied. As in, someone woulda known an apatasuarus was up there and it would have been somewhere else besides online. Like CNN.
JayRob303
Really nice fake though...
CryptoRay
It looks like it came out from the ocean behind it. Maybe it just came on land for a few second then left back to the ocean.

it isnt real.....for all the reasons already stated

Just pardon me while I try to figure out why any time a picture of that quality pops up, everyone immediatley shouts: fake. If a picture of poor quality pops up, everyone shouts: fake. If no picture pops up, but a story does, everyone shouts: you're lying!

no.gif People are so hard to please when it comes to this stuff.

Thats right. Its like they have no faith in anything. dontgetit.gif

It'd be my guess that a land-dwelling dragon as big as a sauropod (notice the big words! Before she knew that Benzai-Tan charmed the dragon king, DragonLady was quite the dinosaur fan! grin2.gif ) would have been noticed by now. The stories about the small pterodactyls and other smaller dinosaurs i can raise an eyebrow to because small things are hard to see.

When was the last time we discovered a new species of animal completley non-related to the elephants that was as big or bigger than an elephant?

(smacks head)

Somehow i meant to include "land-dwelling" in that. I know that there could be something as big as the Empire State Building in the ocean and we may never find it. blush.gif

I found it in the American Monster's FORMERLY EXTINCT gallery and posted it on one of the Mokele Mbembe chats, but never got any commentary on it.

I'm falling into the category of "too convenient", what about you guys?

The beast looks too dark...
And if you look its back, it looks kind of "plain"
Its like a big piece of painted paper, on the water.
Btw, a believe in Mokele Mbembe....

I figured as much.

Africa seems to be a hot spot for still-living dinosaurs. demitrodon or however it's spelled is one, there's something that might be a triceratops, stegosaurus, Mokele...

I'm still not sure i see anything worthy of being even raised an eyebrow to.

^ I agree. It's 'too convenient'.

I believe there are still a few dinosaurs wondering around, but I as far as I can tell this isn't one.
eveningsky339
HOLY CRUD I HAVE 666 POSTS!


Maybe I should further comment on this pic... mellow.gif

Another reason I don't think this picture is of an actual dinosaur is that it's a little too blurry, and yet it is smooth. You can't really define the features, even the blown up picture of its head looks too vague...
JennRose
Looks like an elephant swimming. They stay under water with their trunks up in the air.

It is fake, but still nice none the less.

no.gif While I beleive That there is a possibility of living "Dinosaurs" in the Congo Region, This is an obvious fake for a number of reasons, 1.It is out in the open Why has it never been seen before? where would have hidden all these 65 million years?

Hehe, will it end? Will it.....

There seems to be less Vampires ad Werewolves recently, I have been assuming the all left for a more appropriate forum like creative writing? Maybe with a little gentle convincing of the same strain we could convince these Bible pushers to relocate to the appropriate forum, if I may steal one of your own lines

We shall overcome, one sensible person at a time! (Twas something like that anyways LOL)

Meh, surely nobody looked at that picture with even a seconds thought that it even could be real? Sauropods wandering beaches covertly? Just the idea alone is amusing.

120 MYA, actually. That's presumably a Brachiosaurus, which didn't exist in the Cretaceous. And it looks like a 'shopped pic from Walking With Dinosurs.

plus
you would think that if there was a dinosaur walking right out in the open
some one would take a pic of it
insted of "accsidently" catching it in the frame right?
imean look its in the freakin corner!
kreateslayer
FAKE - i saw a pic that looked just like this (only the dino though).

JediMaster_Fisher
I think if someone were to take a picture of a dinosaur it would be a closer picture then that. I would not settle for a distance photo of a dinosaur if I saw one and had a camera.
TheSteelCat
I'm going to say...
I think it's fake.

But, still, very cool, of course.

But why would someone take a picture of that tree, and not the dinosaur? It isn't very likely that he didn't see it.
