Cryptid Profile: Mokele-mbembe and the “Lost” Dinosaurs of the Congo

Today I will discuss the elusive phenomenon of Mokele-mbembe and the other "Congo Dinosaurs". For over a century, Africa has been said to be home to large prehistoric beasts unknown to science. Is there any truth to this claim? You'll have to find out in this episode of Cryptid Profile!
[Sorry for the weird flickering that sometimes pops up in the video, I tried to fix it but to no avail]

Thank you to the artists I featured in this video!
