Could it be that dinosaurs are alive in the Congo of Africa? Is it possible that sauropods exist today in deep jungles of the world? Consider Jeremy Wade of Animal Planet fame, with his search for the "River Monster." There certainly are unusual creatures in deep rainforests of our globe! In fact, as we were watching his program once, we heard him answer a question about the most difficult terrain he'd ever explored, and his answer was extremely interesting--the swamps of Georgia! (USA)
We must also consider the fact that certain creatures previously thought to be extinct have been discovered alive in the Congo, such as the okapi (pronounced, oh-KAH-pee)! (See picture below.) This lets us know that science really doesn't know everything that's "out there"! The study of unknown creatures like this is called "cryptozoology."
The study basically addresses...
...such as the aforementioned okapi which once was considered extinct:
...and these phenomena (yes even "bigfoot" to determine the possibility of its existence):
We'll get to more unknown creatures of the Congo later, but first let's address the WHY.
Dinosaurs are fascinating creatures known almost exclusively from the fossil record. Some were unimaginatively massive, but others were about the size of a chicken! The average size was about the size of a sheep. While the fossil record reveals many things about these fascinating creatures, can we be certain that they lived "millions of years ago"? Since dinosaur fossils don't come with tags on them that say: "68 million years old," how do we know scientifically that they are that old? In short, "millions (or billions) of years" does not fit the scientific method since dinosaurs cannot be observed, tested, or repeated in a laboratory (as of yet).
You may be reading this with a belief that there is no Creator, no ultimate Authority other than yourself. We understand that view, but if you're reading this thus far we invite you to consider the fascinating claims that dinosaurs are alive TODAY!
Evolutionist Roy Mackal wrote a couple of books about cryptozoology. One of which is
...a thorough accounting of his research into the creature "Mokele-Mbembe" that the Congolese allege lives in the Congo of Africa! Here are a couple of pictures of the author and of his exploration teams.
Some years ago, we were in a meeting at a church in Swanannoa, NC when we met Kam Badimu who is from the Congo (Kasai). Later, I was able to interview him (link below)!

An interesting quote from Mackal's book:
With this distinct possibility of dinosaurs living in the Congo, here are some Biblical...
With this distinct likelihood that unusual, large creatures exist in the Congo (e.g. "Mokele-Mbembe") that at least resemble the supposedly extinct sauropod, what are some Biblical applications? One, God made EVERYthing ... including dinosaurs!
In the ancient Biblical book of Job, we read of two particularly interesting and fearsome creatures in chapters 40 and 41. One is "behemoth" and the other "leviathan." Especially interesting is God's description of behemoth as having a tail that it moved "like a cedar."
Job and his friends heard God's greatest creation message of all time, ending with the most fearsome "behemoth" and "leviathan." This great crescendo of creatures led Job to an internal perspective, an impact of Who the Creator is by what He created. Such a realization brought Job to true repentance, that is, an understanding of who he was in the sight of his Maker!
The message of God's creation isn't just about fossils and canyons, rock layers and creatures, or polonium haloes. It's about Who God is as our Maker Who for all our VIOLATIONS against His design took our place and became SIN for us (2 Corinthians 5:21) that we might receive forgiveness of ALL OUR TRANSGRESSIONS!
