Dinosaurs Still Alive Today - 5 Prehistoric Creatures That Didn't Go Extinct

Mokele-Mbembe-Deep in the jungles of Central and Western Africa, far from the eyes of the outside world lives a creature that is said to have gone extinct 65 million years ago. Just one problem. He is still being seen today. This animal is described by locals as a long-necked sauropod. This seems far-fetched in the world we live in today because mainstream science says that it’s impossible. But science has been wrong before, like in the case of the coelacanth, a fish long thought to be extinct but was found in a fisherman’s net off the coast of Africa in the late 1930’s. The Mokele-Mbembe, which means “one who stops the flow of rivers”, was first reported in the 1700’s and still to this day, by explorers who were shocked at the enormous size, and reportedly hostile nature to trespassers including hippos, of this beast. They also have no trouble in identifying their local beast as a living dinosaur.
Mbielu-Mbielu-Mbielu-This alleged living relic from the past is said to resemble a stegosaur. Once again the locals have adamantly held to the fact that they know what the local animal life consists of and this is a real creature. Since science cannot explain this they resort to the age old, “I’m smarter than you” mentality, which means they play off the reports of these animals being found as the locals being unable to distinguish myth from reality. This is like saying that since you are not as educated as scientists you’re completely overlooked as an actual eye witness to these animals. The same people that have lived in this area their entire lives as well as the lives of countless generations before them. 
Sea and Lake Monsters-Many lakes and seas around the world have been reported to contain monsters. The most famous example being in Loch Ness, in Scotland. This creature, which looks amazingly like an extinct plesiosaur, was first reported in the 6th century A. D. by Irish monks who witnessed a man being buried after being attacked by the monster while swimming. Since then thousands of witnesses have reported seeing the creature. Lake Champlain and Lake Seneca in the northeast United States as well as the several Great Lakes are reported to have monsters in them. The descriptions vary on body appearance and size but the list goes on with dozens of lake monsters reported worldwide. With that many different sightings from all over the world from numerous lakes it seems the scientists don’t want to even acknowledge the fact that they are most definitely wrong.
The Black Demon of the Sea of Cortez-In the Sea of Cortez, or the Gulf of California, swims a monster shark. Locals call it the Black Demon. It is purported to be a megalodon shark. This species of shark, which looks very similar to a modern great white shark but about 2 ½ larger, was said to have gone extinct millions of years ago. The problem is many people have witnessed this large animal in person as well as a video that shows an extremely large shark, which is estimated to be about 50-60 feet in length, swimming around an underwater camera. The average depth of the Sea of Cortez is abot 2500 feet deep. 
Pterosaurs and Thunderbirds-Native American legends talk about very large birds, 2-3 times the size of the largest bird today. These giant birds were said to have gone extinct thousands of years ago yet are still seen Many sightings are from average people that just happen to be in the right place at the right time. Some though are from people who, as pilots make a living flying, are able to maybe better judge distances when up in the sky. The sightings have been reported since the 1700’s with some even still happening to this day. Physical interactions with an account of a young boy living in the Midwest in 1977 being lifted up and carried for around 30-40 feet before being dropped. His mother and several friends were witnesses to the event and all claimed that the bird was of monstrous proportions. It was able to lift a 60 pound child into the air! These aren’t the only flying giants that have been seen in the sky. Reports of huge pterosaur like animals have been documented since at least the time of the civil war in the 1860’s. A few pictures remain that show a group of soldiers standing over a very large pterosaur carcass. After killing it they snapped a photo and that’s all that remains today, with the body having been “lost”. But they did note that the skin was smooth and lacked feathers and the head looked more like a crocodile. Another report came in the 1890’s when two people killed a large flying reptile in the Huachuca desert that was even reported in the local newspaper. There have been sightings in numerous states in America as well as what cryptozoologists call a thriving community on the extremely remote island of Papua New Guinea.
