They are just smaller and called 'Birds.' The archaelogical establishment even mostly agrees that dinosaurs had feathers. The closest living decendant of the velociraptor is the chicken! A 6 foot chicken would fuck you up!

Good for you
yeah but ancient dinosaur species sure as hell are extinct.
Under phylogenetic taxonomy, dinosaurs are usually defined as the group consisting of "Triceratops, Neornithes [modern birds], their most recent common ancestor, and all descendants".[1]

MOON BASE?!
Seriously, though. dinosaurs = yes! And not just because I'm drunk! Just simply because.
This is extremely badass, and the reason I've considered adding the tag "dinosaur" to my hundreds of bird shots on Flickr. I'm only afraid to get murdered by dinosaur-googlers not yet familiar with the badassery. Plus I'm a tag whore, so the tag lists may be full already. :|
I saw a Pterodactyl flying around once when I was 11.
I swear.
My friends dad saw one too. In fact there's an entire community devoted to people who have seen pteredactyls.
I waited over seven years for THAT?
I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little disappointed.
Late post is late, and clearly not that much. I'm sure I would've posted much sooner, but I somehow completely forgot about this thread. I was just reminded of it because I checked out the Who's Online? list.
And also with @Prettybrokenspiral being one of my favorite ETS members to follow on top of that, so I couldn't resist.
