Episode 32: Mokele Mbembe

Episode 32: Mokele Mbembe

What's that beast stomping through the forests of Congo? Is it a leftover Dinosaur -  something bigger than a rhinoceros that hippos fear?  In this episode, we chat about the Mokele Mbembe - a cryptid supposedly seen and heard in the forests of the Congo River Basin, and as far south as Zambia. We chat about the first sightings of the creature and accounts of supposed encounters from the view point of "adventurers" and stories they gathered from local individuals. And the present continued hunts for the creature in hopes of being "evidence" to "disprove evolution".
