Mokele-Mbembe – Republic of Congo

Nearest city: Lake Tele, Congo River Basin

Deep in the Congo Basin, local villagers and explorers have long reported sightings of Mokele-Mbembe, a large, long-necked creature said to inhabit the waters of Lake Tele. Described as resembling a living dinosaur, this elusive animal has inspired expeditions and documentaries well into the 21st century. Recent accounts from local fishermen and visiting cryptozoologists continue to fuel debate over whether a mysterious survivor lurks in the lake’s remote, swampy reaches.
