Other Cryptozoology Dinosaurs
Along with Mahamba and Mokele-mbembe, there have been several sightings of other supposedly modern day dinosaurs. The Ngoubou, Emela-ntouka, and Kasai Rex are three examples. Their sightings are limited and evidence is weak compared to other well-known cryptids (both dinosaur and non-dinosaur related).
Ngoubou The Ngoubou is about the size of an ox, and said to exist in the savanna area of Cameroon. It has been said to attack elephants for land. It was described, as written in The Times, “about 24 feet in length with a long pointed snout adorned with tusks like horns and a short horn above the nostrils. The front feet were like those of a horse and the hind hoofs were cloven. There was a scaly hump on the monsters shoulder" (RedOrbit).

Emela-ntouka The Emela-ntouka is described as being "a squat, short necked, thick tailed, floppy eared, smooth skinned animal of elephantine proportions, perhaps the Emela-Ntouka’s most intriguing characteristic is the single, ivory white horn, which was said to adorn its snout" (American). The natives gave it its name, which translates to "Killer of Elephants." There is a theory that suggests it may just be a species of rhino that has yet to be discovered.

Kasai Rex There are very few eyewitness accounts of the Kasai Rex, and the only information known about it is that it resembles a Tyrannosaurus Rex. There are two stories of claimed sightings, but they both share a lot of similarities. Such as someone running off, it eats a rhino, and they both faint. The similarities strongly suggest that both stories are fraud, and as well as the clearly photo-shopped pictures taken.
