Mystery animal may be dinosaur in African swamps
Two American scientists, Roy Mackal and James Powell, suspect a mysterious elephant sized creature in western Africa’s Congo region may be a dinosaur resembling a brontosaurus. Natives call it Mokele Mbembe and reports from 1959 describe a long neck and tail, three clawed feet, and difficult butchering. The pair plan another Congo expedition.
