The image of the &#8216;dinosaur&#8217; used in the hoax report actually depicts a newborn macropod (kangaroo, wallaby or wallaroo). The picture \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"Rescuing Macropods\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gbwildlifecarers.org.au\/macropods.html\">appears on an Australian Wildlife Carers webpage<\/a> \u00a0that provides instructions for rescuing macropods.<\/p>\n<p>The fake story \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"BRITISH SCIENTISTS CLONE DINOSAUR\" href=\"http:\/\/news-hound.biz\/british-scientists-clone-dinosaur\/\">comes courtesy of NewsHound<\/a>, a website quickly becoming notorious for churning out fanciful drivel disguised as news reports.
