they are not alive went extinct thousands of years ago but thier are decendants like the reptiles (lizards, dragons (komodo, bearded), anacondas) birds, fish (sturgeon, swordfish) mamals (elephant) tigers etc. they say the swordfish are the closet decendants and they would have been able to survive the asteroid collision with earth. and if ya believe in the lockness monster, nessie, champ. it's just common knowledge. good enough? hope it helps!

An Alligator Is Proved To Be The Only Living Dinosaur Alive Today.I think The Comodo Dragon Is A Dinosaur-Like Creature Also.

There are no known living members of the Superorder Dinosauria living today. There are 'living fossil' species- species little changed since the time of the dinos, like crocs, ceolocanths, some turtles, sharks, etc.- but none of these are or ever were classified as dinos (just FYI- reptiles are not dinos, either).
We are pretty sure that the dinos that survived past a certain point became the birds- way too much similarity for there not to be something going on.
As to WHEN they went extinct, about 65 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous Period is a commonly accepted answer.
There is no good evidence for a later extinction- no matter what some websites say. Man and dino never lived at the same time, and all of the evidence I have seen for that premise is pretty easily dismissed.

Yes, the Loch Ness monster is a plesiosaurus (a marine reptile actually, technically not a dinosaur) There are also some Plesiosaurs (or Elasmosaurs) in America in Lake Eerie. One is nicknamed "Champ." Obviously they don't come out much. There are pteradactyls in Africa still. Most dinosaurs alive today are in Africa, in the swamps. One of which (called Mokele-mbembe) resembles a sauropod dinosaur. Its body size is somewhere between the size of a hippopotamus and an elephant. Its length has been reported to be between 5 to 10 meters (16 to 32 feet). The length of the neck is between 1.6 to 3.3 meters (5 to 10 feet). The length of the tail is between 1.6 to 3.3 meters (5 to 10 feet). The reports out of Cameroon have reported Mokele-mbembe to be up to 75 feet in length.

It is pretty much agreed that the vast majority of all dinosaurs are dead, but there are still reports of animals that could be dinosaurs.
Does an animal descended from dinosaurs count as a dinosaur? If yes, then modern birds count.
Below are some links that talk about possible sitings or other evidence for living dinosaurs.

No, not the dinosaurs we know, but their descendants of...a crocodile is a descendant of a 50-foot long croc-looking dino that appeared in the late age of dinosaurs. And birds have been proven to be descendants of dinosaurs, most likely through th Claudiopteryx.

do you see them roaming around you?
If there were dinosuars still living wouldn't you have heard about them on the news or saw someone trying to track them down on Animal Planet?

There is a big purple one on tv, but I hope he will be extinct soon.
