Cryptozoologists believe the likelihood of its existence to be significantly higher than the Loch Ness monster because of the large amount of uncharted territory to which can be ascribed the inability to find a specimen. Other large creatures, such as elephants, exist in large open clearings in the rainforests, each called a bai, as well as in thicker wooded areas, so the existence of the mokèlé-mbèmbé appears to be a possibility when taking into account its native environment. However, it is often thought to be even bigger than an elephant.
There is also a theory that the mokèlé-mbèmbé is a rhinoceros: see this link (third paragraph after the second image). Another not-so-cryptic explanation is that this phenomenon is nothing but a sighting of a group of male crocodiles following a female crocodile during the mating season. A fictional book was written about this creature called Cryptid Hunters by Roland Smith. Sightings of this creature are said to have occurred at Lake Tele.
To lend support to the theory that Mokele-mbembe is a remnant of the dinosauria, the pygmies have been given a certain test many times over. The test involves a group of pictures of animals that live in the area. The pygmies would recognize the drawings of leopards, gorillas, and elephants, among other creatures. After this, they would be shown a depiction of a typical sauropod. The pygmies usually replied with a simple, instantaneous reply, "It's Mokele-mbembe!"
When recently repeated, this experiment bore different results. The BaAka tribes recognized the gorillas, calling them Ebobo. They easily recognized the elephant, calling it Doli. Then, they were showed a picture of a rhinoceros, and replied just as before, "Mokele-mbembe!" Indeed, a rhinoceros seems a likely candidate for a misinterpretation of this mysterious creature. Some reports point toward Mokele-mbembe having a horn, being like a hippopotamus, yet bigger. This truly seems like a fitting description of a rhinoceros.

So these inca stones prove that man once lived with dinosaurs, that is if they are real, but if man lived with dinosaurs or dinosaurs with man, which ever you prefer, then why weren’t humans destroyed or exterminated when the dinosaurs died out? Because the dinosaurs were probably a good source of food and other materials, so if a giant meteor came crashing down and wiped out all the dinos then why didn’t it wipe out man?

Wow, can't believe I missed that one lol..
That meteor hit roughly 65ish mil years ago. Our particular species of humans have only been here roughly 200kish years I think.
In China they have a legend, it’s a story of the history of China. Tells about a family was saved from a great flood. The entire land was flooded; the mountains and everything, one family survived in a boat. The Chinese classic called the Hihking. It says, "A family of Fuhi," which the Chinese consider him the father of their civilization, "History records that Fuhi, his wife, three sons, and three daughters escaped the great flood. He and his family were the only people alive on earth. After the great flood they repopulated the world."

Whoa produkt, and you say that my theory is farfetched when you say that humans have been around for 200,000 years??? The earliest known civilization was Mesopotamia, around 6,2000 years ago.
Now, I agree that we would have been definitley wiped out by a meteor that also wiped out the dinosaurs.... that is, if a meteor ever made the dinosaurs extinct in the first place. Personally, I don't believe this is the case. Theologists tell us the bible states Earth as roughly 6,000 years old. Isn't it a coincidence that the oldest known civilization was 6,000 years old also, and that the bible clearly states that humans were made right after the Earth was made? The bible also never mentions any meteor hitting the Earth, and the bible has pretty much stated every major war and natural disaster up to that point including the great flood.
Many people say, the great flood can't have happened if it killed the entire world's population and only one culture knows about it. But they are wrong, over 300 other cultures believe in an enormous flood that wiped out the entire world except for one family.

If you are aetheist or don't believe the bible, I'm fine with that. I'm only trying to express a different point of view for Mokele-Mbembe, which may conflict with the common viewpoint of origins. Oh, and whoever said that all the Ica stones were faked, at least give some evidence like a website or quote by someone credible.

Dude, people drew picture's of griffon's, phoenix's, unicorn's, Roc's, the minator. Yet we don't think they actually existed! The whole dragon mythology started in china, and no, it wasn't an actual dragon, it was a human being who became immortalized as a dragon. Do some research. LEARN for christ sakes.
That site isn't even showing a cave drawing. This right here,

Is NOT a cave drawing. Obviously. There's a face on the moon too, maybe man went up there and drew a giant face on the moon? Man, have you NO common snese at all? Stop being so gullible.
Sorry to sound harsh toward's you, but you do need it.

And no, those mythological creature's never existed. They were myth's, stories. Not actual thing's. Perhap's you believe the predator an alien from the movies exist because people made films about them? Perhap's all scifi and fantasy book's on sale at the book stores are really account's of actual history on our planet too. There's a difference between open mind and being gullible.
When you click on the link or copy and paste is it saying Bad Request? Because if it is that’s probably the problem, if your not seeing any pictures or writing. And you can’t tell me that dinosaurs, aliens, dragons, Bigfoot, loch ness, jersey, early humans, unicorns, and all the other mythical creatures didn’t or don’t exist. Prove to me that they don’t, with scientific evidence that they are all hoaxes or made up stories with no background to them and then I will agree.
