So, where were we? Ah yes, dinosaurs! Let's crack into a couple of examples, shall we? Mr. Wikipedia, if you please?
---
Most reports of allegedly surviving dinosaurs come from African rain forests in the Congo Basin and the rain forests of South America, although others include those from Australia and Scotland.
- Emela-ntouka, allegedly a living ceratopsian.
- Kasai rex, allegedly a living theropod.
- Mbielu-Mbielu-Mbielu, claimed to be a living stegosaur.
- Mokele-mbembe, claimed to be a living sauropod.
- Muhuru, allegedly a living ankylosaur.
- Nguma-monene, allegedly a living Spinosaurus.
- Ngoubou, allegedly a living Styracosaurus.
- Other Mesozoic reptiles such as the winged pterosaurs have been reported as well.
- Kongamato, hypothesised to be a living Rhamphorhynchus.
- Mahamba, hypothesised to be a freshwater mosasaur.
Just for reference, Mokele-mbembe is by -far- the most "well-known" (or infamously still at large) out of all those listed. Also, I think it's somewhat unusual that out of all of these, almost half (Mokele-mbembe, Emela-ntouka, Mbielu-mbielu-mbielu, and Nguma-monene) come from the same rough area, the Likouala region of the Congo. All I'm saying is it's not the only time things have gotten a bit weird down there...maybe they have a King Kong situation up ins? All the same, for as far fetched as the the idea of living dinosaurs may sound, stranger things have happened, so maybe it's too early to discount it quite yet.
