Mokele-mbembe

Mokele-mbembe - This is a largest species of pangolin on earth, about twice the weight of a white rhinoceros. It might look like a surviving sauropod dinosaur, but people most likely mistaken a large mammal for a reptile thought to be extinct in the mesozoic, and not just that, it has fur like all mammals, gives birth to live young, it has scales like other pangolin species, and it has mammalian teeth. It feeds on insects, leaves, and fruit. It is indigenous to rainforests of Central Africa and Western Africa. One reason why they feel threatened by hippos is because hippos are the most dangerous mammals of Africa and can sometimes kill young Mokele-mbembes, so Mokele-mbembes protect their own kind from dangerous animals, including hippos.
