A Scottish influencer has received flack online after sharing his bizarre theory on why he claims dinosaurs didn't exist.
Caz Milligan, 25, a model and YouTuber from Fife, has gained thousands of followers from his viral videos which often divide the internet.
The Tik Tok star has now baffled followers in one of his latest clips after he shared his unusual conspiracy theory on dinosaurs.
He claims the government could have 'faked' dinosaur bones in a plan to bring in extra income for the economy.
He questioned why the prehistoric reptiles were not 'pink and fluffy' and believes they failed to exist because humans 'couldn't take pictures of them'.
In a video uploaded to Tik Tok, he said: "I'm unsure dinosaurs ever existed because - hear me out - nobody's ever seen one.
"You couldn't take pictures of them because there was no human to take pictures and photos didn't exist.
"Nobody knows exactly what they looked like. The only thing we actually have are 'bones'.
"But I'm not being funny, if we could make all the things we could make right now I'm pretty sure we could make a fake bone.
"Like imagine how much money 'dinosaurs' bring to the government. Books, history, like all these different streams of income via dinosaurs."
He then mimed quotation marks with his hands as he added: "It's scientifically proven".
"But have you seen it for yourself, though? You've only heard that's it's been scientifically proven. But since you've heard it, you now believe it.
"I'm just saying I'm open minded. That's all I'm, saying."
In a follow up video, he questioned why dinosaurs were made "angry creatures" instead of "big, fluffy and friendly".
He said: "Nobody knows what they sound like and look like either, all we've got are bones. How did we know what their skin was like or that they were big angry things that eat each other.
"They could have been pink and fluffy. So why did they not make dinosaurs big, fluffy, friendly creatures?
"They just automatically made up these creatures, found bones, put them together and thought 'do you know what, these are angry roaring creatures that kill each other'."
A user posted the video to Twitter with the caption 'He’s so smart. Stay woke king' where it racked up thousands of likes causing people to mock his theory.
One wrote: "Dinosaurs bring in 20 million pound inty tourism money see if they never brought that tourism money in... this country wid be f***ed mate, we’d be f***in living on f***in 10 pound giros."
Another wrote: "He's clearly just got stoned out his box and overthought that..."you've heard about, but have you actually seen"?? He is aware they died out millions of years ago?? and it can't be disputed that they existed!"
To which someone replied: "He’s not stoned he’s just from fife."
A fourth commented: "Stay in school kids"
And another wrote: "Mate a thought you were joking at first but a actually think you're being serious."
