You will here of the Congo alot on this site it is host to many dinos. I am now reading a book called "Drums along the Congo on the trail of Mokele mbembe the last living dinosaur" you can pic it up for a few bucks on amazon .com
The ppl in the congo belive in and worship millions of spirits and gods. In the Congo it is elegal for you to cut down a tree with out having a shawman remove the spirit from it first. In fact becouse mokele is so large and amazing it has been labled as a forest god by the ppl that live there in the first chapter of his book before he can go to lake telle to see the god beast Rory nuggent has to be cleansed by a shawman by law. The shawmen takes a fanta bottle has Nugget strip naked and pours a yellow moldy mixture on him.
stories have been told of surviving dinosaurs in the jungles of the Congo. The earliest written record comes from a 1776 book in which Abbe Proyhart described seeing giant, clawed animal footprints in west central Africa, tracks that he claimed were three feet across.
In 1913, a German expedition in the Congo met a group of pygmies who described an animal they called mokele-mbeme, which means "one who stops the flow of rivers." They said this beast was about the size of an elephant or hippopotamus, with a long, flexible neck and a long tail like an alligator's. They claimed that the animal would attack and kill any humans and hippos that got too close to it, but it would not eat them, (It is interesting to note that there is a low population of hippos in the Likouala swamp) because of its strictly herbivorous diet. Similar descriptions have been given time and time again throughout central Africa, consistent with a sauropod.
Numerous expeditions have been mounted in search of mokele-mbeme, with mixed results. In 1980 and 1981, monster-hunter Roy P. Mackal headed explorations into the Likouala and Lake Tele regions of the Congo, reputed hot spots of dinosaur sightings. Mackal documented a number of past eyewitness accounts, including one exciting story of how one was attacked and killed. Pascal Moteka, who lived near Lake Tele, said that his people had once constructed a barrier of stakes across a river to keep the giant beasts from interfering with their fishing. When mokele-mbeme tried to break through the barrier, the assembled villagers and managed to kill it with spears. Celebrating their triumph, the people butchered and cooked the carcass, but everyone who ate the dinosaur meat reportedly died soon afterwards.-this is what sparked the main belive that Mokele was a god
In 1992, a Japanese film crew captured some of the best photographic evidence of a mokele-mbeme ever presented. They were filming aerial footage from a small plane over the area of Lake Tele to obtain some panoramic landscape shots for a documentary. They noticed a large shape moving across the surface of the lake and leaving a V-shaped wake behind itself. The cameraman zoomed in and got about 15 seconds of the object in motion before it dives under the surface.
The resulting footage is very jumpy and indistinct, but it shows a vertical protuberance at the front of the object that could be a long neck. A second, shorter projection could be a humped back or possibly a tail. If the object is not a dinosaur, it's difficult to say what animal it could be, since a crocodile would not have two such protrusions above the water, and an elephant would not submerge in the way the object does.
this site has some curse words but it contains vidio footage pics ect

In 1981, scientists identified dinosaur bones which had been found in Alaska 20 years earlier. The bones had been so fresh that the geologist who had found them thought at first they must have been bison bones. They have now been identified as belonging to horned dinosaurs, duckbill dinosaurs, and small carnivorous dinosaurs.
Bones, of course, dont stay fresh very longcertainly not for the millions of years that Evoltionist demand. These discoveries clearly indicate that dinosaurs were around recently.
