Is there a living dinosaur in the Congo?!
So the Bangombe Pigmy Tribe believe, as do many scientists, having lead numerous expeditions looking for the mysterious creature.
The Mokele-mbembe is sometimes described as a brownish/grey elephant/hippopotamus like creature with a long neck and snake like head. Elephants and hippopotamuses are not indigenous to this part of Africa. It is believed to be a sauropod by some cryptozoologists.
In 1992 a Japanese film crew were doing a documentary about the Congo, while doing aerial shots from a helicopter, the cameraman noticed a large creature in a lake swimming at high speed, far faster than an elephant for example. The video shows the object swim and suddenly disappear, which would likely rule out a passenger boat. This caused an uproar about the Mokele-mbembe. In 2001, the BBC aired a documentary containing the Japanese footage… that is the clip attached below. Unfortunately, it does not contain the moment where the object suddenly submerges.
