| Mokele-Mbembe according to Roy P. Mackal |
Mokèlé-mbèmbé is a legendary water-dwelling creature of Congo River
basin folklore, claimed to be a living sauropod
by creationists and many cryptozoologists. In addition to a sauropod some claim
there are living sivatheres, ceratopsians, stegosaurs, and even tyrannosaurs in
the African Congo. To these people Central Africa
is an actual Lost World that will disprove evolution
Unfortunately, no matter how much I would love to see a
living dragon, once the actual reports are consulted the claims fall apart into
wishful thinking, misquoted scientists, reports of known animals, reports of an
unidentified rhinoceros, and hoaxes.
