Worldwide sightings of ropens (modern pterosaurs) Eyewitness reports of live pterosaurs in Europe, Papua New Guinea,
Australia, and North America--these are shocking to those who've assumed that all "pterodactyls" became extinct millions of
years ago. But to those who know of the reports, it's possible. Read them yourself, then choose what to believe: live ropens
or extinction. (See Hennessy)

Eyewitness reports from around the world strongly suggest that at
least one species of pterosaur is still alive. Most expeditions, from 1994 through 2007, were in Papua New Guinea, north of
Australia. But reports include long-tailed featherless creatures, even pterodactyl-like, flying over the United
States.

In spite of generations of textbook declarations about pterosaur extinctions, reports of sightings continue to contradict
what is taught. Could popular ideas about "flying dinosaurs" come from assumptions rather than from scientific facts?
If a species of pterosaur is still alive, why has one not yet been captured? It's partly because ropens are
both rare and nocturnal.
As shocking as living pterosaurs may seem, something else is shocking: The textbooks and educational systems themselves
may have delayed recognition of these amazing long-tailed featherless creatures. And what's more, old reports of these creatures
may have given rise to dragon legends. What once was called "dragon" is now called "ropen."
