Abstract
Interest has been generated by reports of a large, unknown animal supposedly inhabiting the swamps of the Congo Basin. Called Mokele-Mbembe locally, descriptions from sightings have suggests a morphology similar to that of the sauropod dinosaurs of the Mesozoic (Roy P. Mackal, J. Richard Greenwell, and M. Justin Wilkinson, 1982, The Search for Evidence of Mokele-Mbembe in the People's Republic of the Congo, Cryptozoology, Vol. 1: 62-72; Herman Regusters, 1982, Final Report of the Regusters African Congo Expedition).
