## Resource

Mokele-mbembe is a sauropod-like cryptid that has been luring cryptozoology's most optimistic explorers into some of the world's most remote swamps for over a century, and yet the evidence remains, to put it generously, thin. Whether this creature was born from colonialist interpretations of local legends, or wishful thinking during the dinosaur craze of the early 20th century, one thing is clear: somewhere in the Congo River Basin, a living dinosaur is definitely not waiting to be discovered. ** Link to the 1992 documentary footage (starts around 3:33): https://youtu.be/3xJh6vMj4zs?t=213 ** WE WROTE A BOOK!
