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.

This information tells that, the dinosauras family is still living on the earth. Since it is an herbivores, lets hope it will not eat the mankind……
