Do pterosaurs--non-extinct--live in the Southwest Pacific? This is a true story, delving deeper than fossils, in a quest to uncover the truth about an amazing creature. Seven Americans have visited Umboi, a remote tropical island in Papua New Guinea; not one has come back disbelieving in the ropen; not one believes it is something other than a pterosaur.
Universal-extinction-of-all-pterosaurs is no longer believable.
"Searching for Ropens" digs deeply into the origin and purpose of the Western assumption of ancient pterosaur extinction. By analyzing the eyewitness testimonies with an eye to alternate interpretations, the author proves that this is a valid investigation with valid evidence for the existence of living pterosaurs.

Sounds like an interesting read.. Imagine how the world might change if we were to find a living Pterosaur, or Plesiosaur from Loch Ness, or a hidden species of 'Big-Foot'.
Research such as this is still very necessary, and I'm sure we'll be suprised with some of the things that might be discovered in the years to come regarding species previously believed to have been 'extinct'..
