You two sure look like peas in a pod from that photo, Loren. Yes, interesting article indeed.

Interesting man. He sure has a passion of cryptozoology and the Mokele-Mbembe!

Agreed. Terrific article, Loren, and thanks for “introducing” me [us] to Scott Norman. A very interesting bit of information was this: “When showing natives drawings to identify what was being seen, they would reject the Mackal book’s illustration of a small sauropod dinosaur and point instead to a much larger sauropod—the brachiosaur. Scott reported the village erupted almost as one with the cry: “Mokele-mbembe!!!!!!”.” That certainly changes my perception of what this beast is (or more properly, may be). I aways had a bit of a problem with the idea of a “mini” sauropod killing full grown hippos-something more along the lines of a brachiosaur doing so is more tenable to me.
