Alligators, crocodiles, komodo dragon all fit the description of dinosaurs as large lizards. There were many types of dinosaurs that were smaller than these reptiles today. Consider the komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis), one of the largest and most fierce land-living reptiles alive today. It is about 3 m long, can outrun a human in short distances, eats deer, hogs, and can be dangerous for even a man. They were all around since the prehistoric time.
Along with Bigfoot and the Yeti, the Loch Ness Monster is one of the best-known mysteries of cryptozoology. Most scientists and other experts find current evidence supporting the creature's existence unpersuasive, and regard the occasional sightings as hoaxes or misidentification of known creatures or natural phenomena. Belief in the legend persists around the world, however. Local people, and later many around the world, have affectionately referred to the animal by the diminutive of Nessie (Scottish Gaelic: "Niseag").
If you ask me, i would have to say i believe anything is possible, you honestly cannot say there is not an animal from prehistoric time still out there.
Part of believing that this creature still exists means you need to have a fairly good explanation for what the loch ness monster might be. Theories abound. One theory suggests that he is a dinosaur that managed to escape extinction and lives on in Lake Champlain. Another suggests that the creatures could be surviving zeuglodons, a primitive form of whale with a long snake like body. These creatures have been thought to be long extinct, however fossils of them have been found a few miles form Lake Champlain in Charlotte, VT. Champ might also be a Lake Sturgeon. There are sturgeon in Lake Champlain and they can grow to great lengths. They are a very old, almost prehistoric fish with a scale-less body that is supported by a partially cartilaginous skeleton along with rows of scutes. Its single dorsal fin, running along its spine, would match many descriptions of the Loch ness monster, although its sharp, shark-like tail would not.
Another theory is that the Loch ness monster could be related to a plesiosaur. A plesiosaur is a prehistoric water dwelling reptile (not a dinosaur) with a long snakelike head and four large flippers. Plesiosaurs loved fish and other aquatic animals. Scientists date the plesiosaur to the Triassic period, 200 million years ago, through the Cretaceous period, about 65 million years ago (when all dinosaurs are thought to have gone extinct).
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE AND I WOULDN'T DOUBT IT, THAT THERE ARE SOME PREHISTORIC ANIMALS, MAMMALS ECT STILL OUT THERE THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT!

As far as scientists can determine, dinosaurs are extinct. However, since we do not know all the creatures everywhere on the earth, it is not impossible that dinosaurs still survive somewhere on the earth (or even in the ocean).
Because of reported sightings by natives, real scientific expeditions have been sent to Africa to locate what is believed to be a species related to Apatosaurus (Brontosaurus). No evidence has been found as of yet.
The most positive statement a knowledgeable scientist can make is "the majority of evidence suggests that all species of dinosaurs are extinct".
Komodo dragons are reptiles, not dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are (were) not reptiles.
Birds are not dinosaurs, but evolutionary scientists generally agree that birds are evolutionary descendants of dinosaurs and (genetically) the most closely related living species. If another species is more closely related, science has not demonstrated that yet.
Considering the history of the legend of the Loch Ness Monster (started out as a land animal), I strongly suspect that it is nothing more than a hoax.

Crocs were dinosaurs (well, they were definitely around in prehistoric times anyway), so I'd say technically, yes! Loch-ness monster? Um, has it been proven that it ever existed???

dinosaurs as we think of them are extinct, however, their relatives are still very much alive.
