Sinoceratops seen bathing in river near Chongqing
A pair of green-morph Sinoceratops are seen here enjoying some time in the Yangtze river. This is the first confirmation of wild dinosaurs inside Chinese borders. The Dinosaur Integration Network has responded to this sighting by confirming that these are not escapees from Titan Sanctuary in nearby Sichuan Province, but they are willing to take custody and that the Sanctuary's owner is willing to house them there. The Chinese government has not publicly acknowledged the situation and with this being an unprecedented occurance, it is difficult to say whether they will allow these dinosaurs to live.
Although in my opinion, the real questions to be asked are these; Where did this pair of Sinoceratops come from? And are there more of them out there? Only time will tell.
