2020 is not yet over and in the final chapter, were you expecting dinosaurs coming to life? Well, that's a little too extreme to be possible. But a video of a dinosaur being captured in Indonesia has been doing the rounds on social media. It is a Triceratops genus of dinosaurs that lived 68 million years ago! A video of the same large reptile being captured by four men and struggling with it has been doing the rounds with different claims. The claims suggest it was caught in East Java's forest, while some say it is Brazil. The differing claims itself point out that something is not right. Firstly, it is a fake animal, a mechanical puppet which looks very real. These are similar to the puppets that are made and kept on display in Jurassic theme parks.

Video of this dinosaur or triceratops has been shared online by multiple accounts with different claims. And with all that's happening in this year, some people believe it to be true. It is very similar to the dinosaur clone in China which many people thought to be real. In this particular video going viral, there's a massive dinosaur stepping out of a truck and being pulled by four men, as he puts up a show of his strength. The video is shared online with captions like, "TRICERATOPS at Mojosemi Forest Park, Magetan, East Java, Indonesia." While some others claimed that Brazilian authorities captured a live triceratops in rainforest. Netizens are sharing it across, without verifying, thinking it to be true that dinosaurs are coming to life! Find Real Dinosaur Fossils At These 5 Places Around The World.
