Mokele Mobembe is a name I've not heard in maybe 30 years!

**Sigh**

The world was so much more magical when I was a kid. Plesiosaurs in Scotland, Sauropods in Africa, Pterosaurs in the American Southwest...

It´s good to know people still seem to need stories like these

I don't know what the big deal is. I have a mokele-mbembe at home.

The mokelembembe at home...





Polypterus mokelembembe for those wondering. An animal that actually has a Cretaceous Africa connection.

Beautiful animals!

Is it the big green guy in the front?

Is it the big green guy in the front?

It is. The smaller one is a loach (striped loach, I think)

Gorgeous fish @SBell!

I love stories like these- even if they are more likely to be false biologically speaking, they're very fun when considering the cultural significance/mythology aspect of them.
