Yes.

The theory is that birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs

Crocodiles aren't dinosaurs. They're reptiles. Reptiles aren't necessarily dinosaurs; dinos were their own group of animal.
Coelacanth isn't a dinosaur either; it's a fish.
As for any existing dinos, it's pretty unlikely. What habitats still exist that existed 65 million years ago? If an animal was still alive that existed then, it would likely need the same terrain as it lived in; otherwise it would go extinct or adapt.

As for stuff like Loch Ness... hmmm... maybe.. but things like the Mokele Mbembe are almost certainly impossible. Given this- that last one is said to be a brontosaur/apatosaur/ diplodocus sort of creature, yet it lives in a swamp. It's been pretty well determined that sauropods did not live in swamps to support their bulk, as was thought before. Also, if they were roaming around the forests, how would they move their huge bodies without traces, such as broken trees and trampled vegetation? And surely they would HAVE to move to find new food sources.

I've heard of pteradactyls surviving in the form of Thunderbird legends of Native Americans, but still... same problems.

Dinosaurs were vertebrate animals that dominated the terrestrial ecosystem for over 160 million years, first appearing approximately 230 million years ago. At the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago, dinosaurs suffered a catastrophic extinction, which ended their dominance on land. Modern birds are the direct descendants of theropod dinosaurs.

with dark mo... is right, also the Gila monster or komodo dragon, it's like 6 feet long and uses a septic saliva to bring down prey. If they don't kill something in the attack they follow the animal by the scent of the wound. The bite starts to rot and the blood becomes infected. This kills the animal after a few days and then the Gila monsters eat the carcass. Neat huh?

YES THERE ARE descendants of dinosaurs...BUT..are they really dinosaurs...come to think of yourself... they have evolved.. already..

Have you heard any news that there are still dinosaurs..

ALMOST ALL DINOSAURS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN one explosion that made the ice on polar caps melt... BUT.. THE FEW OF THEM BECAME HUNGRY AND FEED on others..AND SOME OF THEM did not survived the COLDNESS OF THE WEATHER SO THEY DIE...

ok?

"There are no dinosaurs on the earth now" this is what everyone thinks. But nothing is impossible .dinosaurs were lost because they could not adapt themselves according to conditions which were prevailing at that time.Since evolution is bidirectional so we can assume that dinosaurs can be again on earth.

Yes there is a possibility that dinasuars exist. For example the chicken is possibly related to dinasuars. Alligators and Crocadiles are almost dinasuars becuase of their features and becuase they were still alive around the dinasaur ages.So it is possibly true that dinasuars sot of exist.

You could say that...because crocodiles and alligators lived in the time of the dinosaurs, and are still around, so you could call them dinosaurs! : )

Quantitatively I have saliently discovered some theorys about dinosour avolution. The dinosours turned into birds. Acheopteryx possibly was the first bird.

I think so, but not in a traditional sense of large beasts roaming the plains. You read about things now and then, like fishermen catching something that was thought to be long extinct.
