Do strange, large land animals unknown to science exist in remote corners of the globe? Rumours, stories, and reports about queer beasts located in the deadly unexplored swamps of Central West Africa have surfaced periodically for over two hundred years. The Pygmies living in the area describe features which taken at face value are like a sauropod dinosaur. These reports have been taken seriously by Dr. Roy Mackal and provoked him to lead two expeditions to look for signs of the huge creatures referred to by some Africans as Mokele-nbembe. This book describes his expeditions into the Likouala region of the People's Republic of the Congo. They did not result in the capture or undoubted sighting of the Mokele-nbembe, but did not indicate that large unknown animals await discovery in this region, one of the largest biiopreserves in the world, still largely unexplored by westerners. In addition to the very full account of Mokele-nbembe, which Dr. Mackal believes could indeed be a kind of sauropod dinosaur, the book analyses reports of other still-known creatures inhabiting the Likouala swamps. These analyses are detailed, thorough, and provocative, leading us to conclude that there may, indeed, be several different members of the animal kingdom awaiting discovery in this vast and inhospitable region.

I really enjoyed this book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 23, 2018

I really enjoyed this book, the author is a legend himself. I have always believed that a dinosaur still exists in Africa and this book brings my aspirations too reality. I reccomend this book to any person who believes in this legend.

A Living Dinosaur: In Search of Mokele-Mbembe

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 2, 2001

I read the book, and I liked it because Dr. Mackal is very conservative scientist, and he has lots of courage. He just looked at eye-witnesses and weighted the evidence. He never saw a Dinosaur, but he took careful notes from People in the Congo who said they saw one. He documents eye witnesses and other stories starting in the 17th century when Jesuits who were some the first Europeans who visited there. It was an interesting read. I bought the book straight from Dr. Mackal at the University of Chicago.

Worth every penny

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

I've wanted this title for a long time, and its worth every penny. It's a rather thorough investigation into one of the most fascinating cryptids of modern time and even details many other lesser known ones such as the 50 foot crocodile that the natives of the region know as "Mahamba".
