No, it is not.
You have linked the image from the homepage of a Mr. Levene.
http://www.lglevene.comOn 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.

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!

) 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?

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...

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...

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