Did the dinosaurs really die out? or did they evolve? I believe that there are actual dinosaurs alive to day, not just descendents, like birds and crocidiles. There is a creature in the congo region that fits the T-rex describtion. And a few years back, on the boarders of an african jungle, there was fresh Velocaraptor skeleton found, with fresh blood cells, and in the area there were prehistoric plants. Then theres Loss ness monster, which is probably some kind of water dwelling dinosaur (well not relly a dinosaur, dinosaurs are animals who walk on land). Tell me your opinions, they would be very much appreciated.

Its possible for animals (or any organism) to dwarf over time if they are to big for their souroundings.

I think you're right! Dinosaurs still exist, they're just so different from what we believe them to look like that we don't realize it.

Evidence suggests that most of the dinosaurs died out. Some creatures that were around at the same tine are still around, so it's no impossible that an odd species survives somewhere, but it is improbable that there are T-Rex alive and well in the fly-over states.

I'm pretty sure that if there was a T-rex running around, he'd be front page news. Same goes for that "fresh" velociraptor. Plus, I don't think velociraptors were in Africa, weren't they a south American/tropical type dino? And there is no proof that there is a monster in Loch Ness... it is pure speculation.
So, in answer to your question, yes dinos died out but some would have managed to survive, thus evolving into today's "dinos": crocs, gators, sharks, some birds, etc.

This isn't really a question, is it now?
As for the examples you mentioned they are all anecdotal. Animals cannot exist in vaccum. In order to survive this long they would have to be part of a moderatly large population of which there is no evidence.
