So the trope Living Dinosaurs was recently launched, and this image was proposed for it in the Image Suggestion thread. The thing is though, it is described as a Sub-Trope of Species Lost and Found, which also uses a dino image. I don't particularly care which image ends up on Living Dinosaurs, but since the parent trope is broader than that, we'll have to find a new image for that either way. Something like a sabretooth or a mammoth showing up in the present day would work. Best option I have at the moment is a Megalodon.

Let's move the pic from Species Lost and Found here and find a replacement for that.

The pic from Species Lost and Found is from Jurassic Park, exactly one of the movies that is explicitly said to not be an example of the trope. Living Dinosaurs is about dinosaurs (or other prehistoric creatures) that naturally survived till modern times, not that were artificially clonned.

About the other, for me the first suggestion is the best because one of the characters clearly says "But they're been extinct for a million years". Can't be more clear than that.

^ You have to know the pinball game in order to know that it's not an example. Otherwise the message is not different from what you see in 3.

True, but I still think JP is very recognizable, even for those who havn't see the movie.
