Woman sights ‘baby dinosaur’ in her backyard

The Sunshine State is no stranger to exotic wildlife, from the Burmese python to the vervet monkey.

But one Florida woman thinks she’s sighted a beast to knock all those boring animals out of the park.

Cristina Ryan believes she spotted a baby dinosaur scurrying through her backyard – and she’s so convinced she’s even shared her home security footage to prove it.

The Palm Coast resident passed video evidence of the prehistoric mystery over to Fox 35 on Saturday after cameras caught a puzzling creature scampering across her property last week in the dead of night.

“Any animal we can come up with that would be ‘walking’ at 3:40 in the morning, wouldn’t walk this way,” Ryan told the outlet.

“Maybe I’ve watched Jurassic Park too many times, but I see a raptor or other small dinosaur!”

In the brief clip, a strange animal with a long body and massy tail hurries across Ryan’s backyard – and everyone she’s shown the video to has come to the same conclusion: it looks like a baby dinosaur.

 “Some say a large bird, but that makes no sense — since whatever it is appears to have front legs.  So not sure?” she joked. 

“I’m sticking with raptor myself.” 

The perplexing clip sparked online debate, with viewers weighing in on what they thought they saw.

“Looks like a Komodo dragon or some type of lizard!” one person commented.

“That is a dog wearing a harness dragging a leash. You can see all four legs and the harness and leash dragging behind it,” another wrote.

Another viewer even propounded an extraterrestrial theory.

“UFO recently sighted and guess this could be the CEO checking things out.”
