Remote New Zealand Volcano Sees Dinosaur Alert?

Posted by simoniker on from the dino-crush dept.

Thanks to BoingBoing for pointing to a ChannelNewsAsia story discussing a 'dinosaur' sighting in webcam pictures of a remote New Zealand volcano. The latest live webcam picture shows the offending creature, with Geonet spokesperson John Callan saying: "Some wag has glued a [toy] pink dinosaur in front of our digital camera", even though "...most people do not go ashore on the uninhabited, rumbling" White Island, east of Auckland, where the webcam is located. Apparently, the dinosaur will stay for now, since authorities "are not planning on removing it, counting on the sulphur and high acid environment to deal to the creature."

    It's possible for it to be an inside joke, and no you do not owe me any proof.I just don't belive evrytrhing people say you know.My bottom line is that it's very possible for the thing not to even be up there.since you say it's an inside thing, it's much easier for someone on the inside to upload doctered pics instead of climbing up there.
