Pink dinosaur grabs centre stage on remote New Zealand volcano

AUCKLAND (AFP) - Scientists using a camera to monitor a remote New Zealand volcano over the Internet have struck an odd problem -- a pink dinosaur.

New Zealand's Geological and Nuclear Sciences (GNS) have installed a digital camera in the crater of the volcano which makes up most of White Island in the Bay of Plenty, east of here.

The often active volcano draws tourists by boat but most people do not go ashore on the uninhabited, rumbling island.

To keep a close watch, GNS installed a digital camera on the island and post a shot taken every hour on their site www.geonet.org.nz.

But suddenly a pink dinosaur has appeared in the shot.

"Some wag has glued a pink dinosaur in front of our digital camera," GNS' John Callan said.

"A number of people have been emailing us asking what the dinosaur is all about."

They are not planning on removing it, counting on the sulphur and high acid environment to deal to the creature

That is funny, it's good to have some childish humor in you because getting old sucks. Yabba-dabba-doo.

Hmm, why was my first instinct to think that the Dino in the subject was actually former celtic Dino Radja?
