Since the beginning of time man has told stories and legends of strange creatures and monsters. These stories and legends are not unique to any one country or continent, they are universal throughout the world. But sometimes animals that were thought to be either folklore legends or extinct are discovered. The Mountain Gorilla was thought to be a myth until 1847, and the Okapi, a half zebra half antilope -like mammal was discovered within the last hundred years. Also the Coelacanth, a prehistoric fish, was thought to be extinct until 1938 when a woman caught one off the coast of Africa. In the United States we have Bigfoot; in Mexico they have the Chupacabra; in Canada the Ogopogo; in Tibet they have the Yeti; and in the West Indies the Loogaroo. In the Congo they have the Mokele-mbembe, a large dinosaur-like animal that inhabits the Congo River. This is the fictional story of an expedition that hopes to either capture or kill the Mokele-mbembe. Capturing or killing any large wild animal is dangerous but when the animal is a throwback to the Mesozoic Period, it is not only dangerous, it is insane!
