It’s our good friend EKM” I realized, this post is in reference to. As he had mentioned he was a film maker in one of his frequent comments on the Blog. Then I checked the full name at the beginning of the article, yup it's him. Anyway, way back when I first learned about Mokele-mbembe, about 30 years ago in a Mysteries book the author gave the impression that it was a theropod i.e. T. Rex by the artwork of the ferocious beast he included. I guess he wasn’t sure what it was. The natives are confused too, some saying it looks like a dinosaur when shown a picture of one, and others saying it looks like a Rhinoceros. Confusion, possible misidentification and controversy there too! Nowadays the popular consensus is that it's a Sauropod. If Nessie ever turns out to be some kind of evolved plesiosaur, as I personally hope it is (Tim Dinsdale thought so), you can bet some form of dinosaur also survived in the deep dark recesses of the Congo.John Alvaradohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069155979480353745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-42737997034821574192012-10-16T10:34:08.181-07:002012-10-16T10:34:08.181-07:00BG: If Kirk or Ballot can point you towards this n...BG: If Kirk or Ballot can point you towards this now-discredited footage, we'd love to see it!

I'm off to Cameroon on November 14th this year with John Kirk, President of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, and Michel Ballot, a French researcher. We will be exploring a remote part of the Dja River and adjoining swamps in preparation for a bigger expedition in 2013. <br /><br />Bill Gibbons<br />africanmysteries@yahoo.ca Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-17649641181809605342012-10-08T12:22:35.120-07:002012-10-08T12:22:35.120-07:00Interesting!I hope that everyone's Sunday was ...Interesting!I hope that everyone's Sunday was great and safe and I hope that they have a great and safe week!
