Mokele-mbembe

Hi friends, here it is an interesting topic about an unknown animal to you…… It is nothing but Mokele-mbembe: meaning "one who stops the flow of rivers" in the Lingala language, is the name given to a large water dwelling cryptid(name of its grouping) found in the folklore of the Congo River basin. It is sometimes described as being a living creature and sometimes as being a spirit.

Several expeditions have been mounted in the hope of finding evidence of the Mokele-mbembe, though without success. Efforts have been covered in a number of books and by a number of television documentaries. The Mokele-mbembe and its associated folklore also appears in several works of fiction and popular culture.

According to the traditions of the Congo River basin the Mokele-mbembe is a large territorial herbivore, approximately the size of an small elephant or a large hippopotamus. It dwells in the Congo river and the surrounding swampland, and has a preference for deep water, with local folklore holding that its habitat of choice are river bends.

Descriptions of the Mokele-mbembe, by some legends describe that, it as having an elephant like body with a long neck and tail and a small head. It has been first seen and reported in the year 1776(march) and last sighted by Eugene Thomas in the year 1989 at the congo river basin.
