I would love it if they found some solid evidence of mokele-mbembe someday. It's happened with other creatures that people thought didn't exisit, it could happen again.Alysonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258788979142293877.post-34113773357219972602011-07-20T22:27:50.608-04:002011-07-20T22:27:50.608-04:00The creature apparently has a known migratory patt...The creature apparently has a known migratory pattern, is widely documented in local legends across a wide portion of the continent, evidence & sightings have been collected by numerous expeditions in the past (even though nothing solid has come up in recent years) an, as we know many advanced ancient cultures long had ties with central africa, due to it's resources and we see imagery of similar animals in Mesopotamian and Older Egyptian art, that I know of. It would obviously be seen as a symbol of strength and power to ancient peoples. And this isn't something that is mimicked with any other central african "myths", again, that I know of. So, yes, I would be inclined to belive that such a creature as a mokele-mbembe exists. Whether it's actually a dinosaur or a new genus of reptiles, however, I couldn't tell you unless I saw one for myself.Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/02776518319060314195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258788979142293877.post-34451143016370651782011-04-12T01:43:40.069-04:002011-04-12T01:43:40.069-04:00Ryan, LOl you should get yourself a picture of tha...Ryan, LOl you should get yourself a picture of that!<br /><br />Michael, I think I saw the same show about the bioluminsescent animal! It was quite interesting. I'm always amazed at how many undiscovered animals could be out there.Alyson Burdettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916059117572619004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258788979142293877.post-47573639504088514352011-04-11T11:23:17.046-04:002011-04-11T11:23:17.046-04:00It's possible that there could be some kind of...It's possible that there could be some kind of dinosaur living in the remote areas of the world. For example, scientists once believed some kind of armored fish was extinct and then some fishermen off of Madagascar found them. And then I saw this show on television where people in New Guinea said that there was some kind of flying monster that sounded a lot like a pterodactyl had been seen in the skies at night (seen because I guess they are bioluminescent). We live in a day and age where a lot of exploration of our planet has taken place. However, it is scientific hubris to claim that we've mapped out everything there is to see on the planet. <br /><br />What intrigues me about this particular entry is that it is an aquatic animal. Water hides so much from our eyes (from giant sharks to the afore-mentioned armored fish). This reminds me that people until recently didn't think the giant squid was real...then tah dah...Japanese fishermen caught one on camera.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258788979142293877.post-75328041513941014382011-04-10T16:24:28.966-04:002011-04-10T16:24:28.966-04:00I'm sure there are still undiscovered species ...I'm sure there are still undiscovered species in places like this, they discover so many new things in the oceans so why not on land?

I don't know how many large dinosaurs the world could still hide, though.
