Gynormous larkosuros Discovered

They, in turn, forwarded the picture to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, which is where Cape Cod keeps all of its smart people. Woods Hole sent a team, led by famed archeologist, Dr. A. J. Oke, to the site. Within an hour Dr. Oke confirmed that the January storm had exposed one of the largest flying dinosaurs ever discovered. This huge creature is known to paleontologists as “Gynormous larkosuros” and is thought to have been 17 feet long, with a 25-foot wingspan. Suddenly, every ancient bone-freak in the world was headed to Orleans. Source for the rest of the story…

There was one?
Didn’t Dr olarf adiss already prove that this was a poor attempt at fakery made by suspected local children, using otters swimming in a line, a few logs floating to the surface and some pelicans flying in a group?
No, I’ve heard of these before. Scientists believe they evolved from white pelicans who fed on otters, swooping down (in a line) to grab them off floating logs. They eventually grew larger and also diversified their food source to include giant eels, rare freshwater whales and disembodied tentacles.
Thanksabunch, Loren …
