Page "Mokele-mbembe" Paragraph 5

The BBC / Discovery Channel documentary Congo ( 2001 ) interviewed a number of tribe members who identified a photograph of a rhinoceros as being a Mokèlé-mbèmbé.

Neither species of African rhinoceros is common in the Congo Basin, and the Mokèlé-mbèmbé may be a mixture of mythology and folk memory from a time when rhinoceros were found in the area.
