Maybe dinos and humans didn’t walk the earth tighter.
But maybe some dinosaurs survived…
This site (although you could easily say they are all doctored photos) has a few accounts of “living dinosaurs”

Best bet would STAY OFFLINE. Your obviously not getting much of an education going to those site's and if you dare bring any of this to your science teacher he'd most likely flunk you in a heartbeat. I know I would.
Radiocarbon analysis of specimens obtained from mummified seals in southern Victoria Land has yielded ages ranging from 615 to 4,600 years. However, Antarctica sea water has significantly lower carbon-14 activity than that accepted as the world standard. Therefore, radiocarbon dating of marine organisms yields apparent ages that are older than true ages, but by an unknown and possibly variable amount. Therefore, the several radiocarbon ages determined for the mummified seal carcasses cannot be accepted as correct. For example, the apparent radiocarbon age of the Lake Bonney seal known to have been dead no more than a few weeks was determined to be 615 +/- 100 years. A seal freshly killed at McMurdo had an apparent age of 1,300 years.
For object over 4,000 years old the method becomes very unreliable for the following reason: Objects older then 4,000 years run into a problem in that there are few if any known artifacts to be used as the standard. Libby the discoverer of the C14 dating method was very disappointed with this problem. He understood that archaeological artifacts were readily available. After all this is what the archeologist guessed in their published books.

The fossils of dinosaurs and Lucy had their ages determined by carbon dating right?

I'm sorry that I was off about the part that dinosaurs were the ones that were carbon dated. I did sum more googling and found out that the dinosaurs themselves are not carbon dated, but the earth around it is carbon dated to determine the age of the bones.
Are there any other ways to determine the age of dinos?

And another thing, produkt, why do you assume that because people are still in school they are less intelligent that you. And why does that make their opinions wrong?

Howdy! That creature Your talking about is an Elephant., sorry. You ought to checkin on Lorren Colman's cryptomundo site , often! You can get all kinds of living dinosaur info there daily!! Good luck!!
Ruff
And the photo of the monster doesn’t have the same spinal arch as the elephants
