This week, as a field trip, My daughter ( 2nd grade) is visited Museum. The topic of enquiry was evolution. They are going to see how/why animals could have evolved from primitive ocean life.
If I remember correctly. when in school this topic came very very late. Not in 2nd grade.
Anyway one of the homework was to list one animal that did not change for past 4 million years and other was to list one animal which doesnt not exist now.
I told my daughter that Dinosaur are extinct. But she doesnt accept it. she argued with me and still says they are in this world but hiding.  I am not sure how to convince her. To make matter worse, she saw the trailer for Jurassic world yesterday. Ughhh
cheers,
Super

Maybe this[^] is a better example.
Made extinct by humans, to my knowledge this is the last footage of this animal. The Tasmanian tiger/wolf.
I saw video's claiming it to still exist, but don't know if they are true or not...

She is right. There are still living descendants[^] of the dinosaurs, evolution just disguised them so that they don't look very much as we would expect them to look.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

extinct ? EXTINCT ? Why am I ALWAYS the last one to be informed here ?

They already have become unexstinct, so you are up to date again:
(From Wikipedia)
Most researchers agree that modern-day birds are the only living members of the Dinosauria clade.

Difficult: they all have. Even cockroaches (which were around with the dinosaurs and a long way before) are "modern" cockroaches, which do not have the same DNA as the older ones that look much the same.
But "the cockroach" is a good example of an insect that doesn't look any different.

Regrettably, that's really, really easy: the list is enormous, and getting longer every day... 
But...famous ones? The Dodo? Mammoth? St Stevens Island Wren?
(I like the last one, apparently the only known example of an entire species possibly wiped out by a single animal, named "Tibbles")
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Sharks. As long as they're the kind sans Laser Beams.

Perhaps your daughter was referring to her school visit to parliament the previous week?

She is correct, I still get projects that "need" to be done in VB 6.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Either the trilobite, or the branch of humanity known as "honorable man".

Sharks and lawyers more sharks.

Let's not go to the realm of myth and folklore. What will come next? Dragons, ghosts and goblins?

Look, I survived Christmas.
Please don't remind me how soon we'll be at Easter.

I don't know about the latter; I've met a few men (and women) whom I would call honourable.
I would agree that the honourable man is on the "endagered species" list. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Certainly most are extinct, but we also have examples like the Coelacanth that were thought to be extinct, but are not.

Just stop hiding the truth to her and break the news that dinosaurs are alive still. They are alive and control us like puppet masters.
All hail our Dinosaur overlords.

No, dinosaurs are our masters. Bob is the dinosaur master.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

You know all of those bugs that appear out of nowhere in your code without even touching it?
It's all the dinosaurs!

My eldest has formed the theory that the sharks killed all the dinosaurs.
He saw a video of an allosaurus (probably) hunting fish, only for a huge shark looking thing to pull it into the water. Don't want to correct his theory as it is the most boyish idea I have heard.

This is another example of 'Evolution':
