Yes. Just look up the ceolocanth. But I don't think dinosaurs exist anymore. Although the story of Mkole Mbembe is somewhat interesting.

Well they say that Crocodiles havent changed much to the dinosure ones. so you could say yes to crocodiles being living dinosures. Also you have The Komodo Dragon. These prehistoric relics can grow up to 10 feet in length, weigh about 300 pounds and live as long as 100 years. Scientist believe that the ONLY thing that has changed with this creature compared to its exstint relatives is its size. Its dinosure relatives were a little larger.
Also consider the fish which are yet to be discovered. Those that live at depths we are yet not capable of exploring. As time goes by our techknolodgy improves so one day new species will be discovered.
Also, There are many remote parts of the world where humans rarely travel through that can hide a species that hasn't been discovered yet. Some others may be genetic mutations of a species or just a single mutated animal. There are new species being discovered every year and these animals may have been thought rumor and myth at one time, but now they are accepted as genuine animal species. The mountain gorilla, giant pandas and giant squids are just a few creatures we now know exist, but were once considered myths and legends. The coelacanth was thought to be extinct for 70 million years until it was discovered alive and well in 1938.
The fish is no longer on the extinct list. If this fish could survive all those years undetected, why can't other prehistoric giants have done the same thing. Every year unknown animals or animals that were thought extinct are discovered.
The creatures below are considered myths or unexplainable sightings. Which one will be the next to be discovered and accepted in the known animal kingdom. Think about the giant-congo-snake. In 1959 a helicopter pilot took a photo of it and it measured approximately 40 to 50 feet in length. It had triangle shaped jaws and a head about 3 ft x 2 ft. Experts have analyzed the pictures and have verified them as authentic. They also have verified the size of the creature by matching ground features to the snake. As the helicopter flew in lower the snake raised up 10 feet and looked as if it would strike at the helicopter if they flew any closer. They say this is the largest living snake relative of the dinosures.

Yes; many of the reptile species are largely unchanged since prehistoric times. There is an interesting fish species, Coelacanths, that arose over 350 million years ago, according to the fossil record, and there are examples of that fish still alive today.

Sure do. Look at the patriarchal religions: those are prehistoric creatures.

I've been a observer for pre-historic relics, and I've come to this conclusion...yes there are creatures that continue to deify, the evolution of earth, and it's climates. The Cilocanth, please excuse me for the spelling, but , how do you explain the sighting for "Nessie"? She fits all of the descriptions for a pleathasourus....spelling? Why is it so hard to think pre-historic beings exsist in modern times? The climate is right, and the human factor is minimal, so what's to keep these beautiful animals from exsisting,much less pro-creating in this warmer climate?

The crocodilions have been around for about 100 million years. As long as there are Crocs and Gators we'll remember we are nothing but a meal that walks or swims right into their dining room. Now, doesn't that humble almighty mankind a bit?

Yes, alligators and crocodiles, plus many scientists believe that birds are direct descendants of the Pterodactyl,
so that would sort of still make them pre-historic. Actually, if you think about it there are really many animal and fish species that were alive during pre-historic times and are still around today.
