Mkole mbembe--why are they tramping all the way through the jungles of Congo, when they can spend a lot more time on Loch Ness for an equally mythological creature--and one that has been "photographed" far more often.

Evolution and its accompanying necessity of long ages of evolutionary development would be hard pressed to accommodate a living dinosaur.

No it wouldn't.

so the design worked and it survived, so what?

Remember, these people aren't the sharpest tools of the lot. Given that they won't find one, even if they systematically cut down ever last tree, forcing it to reveal itself, we have no worries on that front.

I saw a documentary recently from the congo, actually about the native humans, but there was a lot of talk about mockolocky embeybey as well.

At one point, one of the people filming the documentary was showing them through his species identification guidebook, and turned to the page showing a rhinocerous. Thats him! mkole mbebe!. There was instant recognition. Mkole Mbebe is some kind of Rhino, which is fairly interesting since rhinos aren't normally known in the area.

Also, like camaban, I am a little confused as to why they think a living dinosaur would disprove evolution. How long have crocodiles been around relatively unchanged, after all?

Oh, good grief, I didn't realise they were looking for LIVE ones. I was wondering what was so "duh" about not finding dinosaur fossils.

Who bankrolls these expeditions anyway?

Creation science organistions are registered non profit organisations and recieve regular donations through churches and private sponsorship.

So, the gullible are the finacial supporters.

Wonder how that restricts the conclusions they're allowed to draw from their work.

And how long have sharks remained unchanged?

the list goes on.

<a href="http://www.mokelembembe.com/" target="_blank">MokeleMbembe.com</a> has some more information.

<a href="http://www.angelfire.com/mi/dinosaurs/mokele.html" target="_blank">Here</a> are some drawings of the creature and also a photo of "Champ" which is "believed by many to be a dinosaur".
