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

RIP my tongue trying to pronounce some of these words.

Sorry for the weird frames that flash up for a split second every now and then in the video, I tried to fix it but to no avail. Hopefully I'll figure out how to get rid of that in future vids.

Hope you all enjoyed this one! It was a doozy to research and edit but I'm happy it's out ;)

I miss the days when Trey covered prehistoric life and cryptids

Hullabaloo caneck caneck!

Did you forget about the kongamato of zambia.🇿🇲

I'm sure those natives do lie to the white men about mkole mbembe, i know a guy that lives in a town where one of those bigfoot hunter tv shows would come to town for a few seasons. The locals loved having an entire production crew in town for a couple weeks. They spent a lot of money in local businesses. The locals would apparently get together and go out and mess with them in the woods, throwing rocks and making noises. Anything to keep them coming back next season.

I read “mokele” is “monke”

Welcome to Jurassic Park in Congo Africa

Go to the food sources. Something that big has got to have a fruit or nut food source.

you say racist white people used to say this or that, but did you ever talk to them to confirm they were racist? or did you just assume bad intent on the people who simply could not have known better. assuming that someone was racist because they didn't have a chance to have to knowledge you now have, is rather judgmental and not supported by any meaningful evidence

I don’t speak Lingala, but I do speak French. And in every French-Lingala lexicon I found online, the French word for rainbow, arc-en-ciel, is translated as “monama”. Doesn’t seem related to mokele-mbembe.

E.L. Wallace be planning his next scheme

He's a Batman level Villain

Mistaking a diplodocus for a brontosaurus because they saw it on TV is the opposite of uncontacted. 😂

I love how these content creators get on their high horse about these explorers being racist and then refers to the Congolese tribes as pygmies, which is clearly a derogatory term. Also, it's not cool to mock someone's beliefs just because you don't believe in them or mock their education just because they didn't go to an Ivy League school. And just because they haven't gotten a degree in the paleontology (which is what someone who studies dinosaurs would have and not zoology), doesn't mean a thing. Many academics have ventured into other fields if something has taken their fancy. There is also a concept called citizen science. The term is new, but the concept certainly isn't.

Considering that we have actual DNA, hemoglobin, and soft tissue from dinosaurs. It doesn't seem all that farfetched to me that they could still be out there. DNA cannot last even 1 million years as has been shown over and over again in the lab. It has been scientifically proven that these dragons where around less then a million years ago. Whether or not they are still alive today with the expansion of civilization we might never know, but anything is possible. We have the decay rates and these things where alive recently.

The Congo basin never froze during the ice age 50,000 square miles of unexplored swamp, the since and identified the bili ape, the bonobos chimps the man sized ones identified in the 1990’s so whose to say

Incredible Video 🙏

Much hula-la-la-la-lah- la-luh-laaaa-🎈has been made about this video 🤓

The fact he says all these African words then can’t utter hullabaloo to save his life😂

Come on man, what better evidence is there than cased footprints and vocalizations that are always species specific? These two things alone is far more proof than needs be to establish a species existence. It's just that people are generally not intelligent enough to leave their "beliefs" out of their evidence gathering and follow the evidence - REGARDLESS OF YOUR SILLY, PREJUDICED BELIEF SYSTEM(S) !!!!

Maybe the Real Mokele-Mbembe was the racist stereotypes we made along the way

Cool video, thanks for sharing.
I won't promise to watch those travel videos if you post them, but there's a good chance.
I wonder how much exogenous/endogenous vagrancy(a thing in biology where individuals of one species, especially birds, are found very far from their normal habits, contributes to cryptid stories/myths.

Imagine how unhinged you gotta be to flip the fuck out by having a local telling you "Bro, this just means rainbow in my language".

You read in the Bible and everything I thought you'd be smart enough to understand dinosaurs were only 6,000 years old

if you're going to do an entire video on African creatures you can at least learn to pronounce the names. its not cute that you cant say them. show some respect for your subject and viewers.

Hello Baloo
hullabaloo XD

There certainly seems to be many "cracks in the story", however the material the video producer used to debunk the mystery also seems to be hearsay at best. As a rule I find that "where there's smoke there's fire". It has become necessary to find more conspiracy theories in the last few decades, since many of them turned out to be true after all. Whether the Mokele-Mbembe story is all hoax or not, the inhabitants in and around the Congo have certainly seen some type of creature/creatures that deserves further investigation.

6min in I cant watch the full video. This dude already had a preconceived bias that the legendary dinosaurs doesnt exist. He'll nit pick evidence that aligns with his views. so fking boring. But let him talk about aliens and interstellar travel, he will have an orgasm like all the atheists do.

I clicked off when you very unprofessionally dont know how to pronounce basic words. How bout preparation?!

Don’t try to say it, just show it. Your silliness all most ruined the video.

Seems a bit too easy to just go "oh, it's all white people projecting".
The legend still exists. It might not be a dinosaur, but the idea that these myths might be still about a real creature is not unplausible.

If a stegasarous is found it should be called steggy the dinosaur.

Cryptozoologists suck. They're either quasi religious, with their mind made up on whether something exists before they look for it. Or they're just pure charlatans.

Thank you for not grouping all Christians into the radical Young Earth interpretation. Most Christians for virtually all of human history knew much of the Bible including the Creation account to be poetry and metaphor.

there was also a period of time in the 30s when those young earth creationist were trying like crazy to find it and prove their point. that'd how you know it's fake because a bunch of fanatical Christians couldn't find it

haven't finished the video, but I cackled out loud at using a screenshot of Patrick McGoohan in Baby: secret of the lost legend to represent Roy Mackal

And the fact that people still believe these things are alive just shows us how stupid people are

The first mentions of mokele membe goes back to the 1700s get you facts straight ,

yes mister eurocentric white boy

Of course , an asteroid killed the dinosaurs . Yet sparred butterflies and frogs . Which today are so fragile , threatened by ones carbon footprint.🤔

To be fair, even though this probably doesn’t exist, if there is anywhere you might find a dinosaur, it would be either in the Congo jungle or New Guinea, but again it’s very improbable

Good video, you really do great research. Im no religious nut, but I still wish mokele was real though😅

Im genius primate, and this is the story of deep cut and the lost dinosaurs of Puerto Rico

What about the tracks and the audio
