Fact Check: Have dinosaurs returned to Earth

New Delhi, May 10: Have the dinosaurs returned to Earth. A video of a group of animals has gone viral on the social media with the claim it showed baby dinosaurs running.

The dinosaur has been extinct for around 65 million years now. OneIndia has learnt that the claim is false.

The animal in the video is a coatis and this footage had been reversed to create an illusion of baby dinosaurs.

The video was originally posted on the Twitter handle of Buitengebieden with the caption, 'this took me a few seconds.' Nowhere does the handle claim that these animals are dinosaurs.
