—Mokele-Mbembe is a dinosaur-like cryptic creature living in and around the Congo. The name translates as, “one who stops the flow of rivers.” The creature is thought of as a sauropod that managed to avoid extinction. Pygmies indigenous to the area also ascribe some magical powers to the beast.

The first sighting of this cryptid was in 1776, but most eyewitness reports occurred during the 20th century.  The legend of Mokele-Mbembe has inspired a lot of fiction, including the Disney film, Baby.
