About 100 years ago people from a small village in the heart of the Congo jungle in Central Africa started reporting sightings of a very strange animal in or near the Congo river: a large creature, about the size of an elephant, with brown or gray skin, a long neck and tail, and a small head. Several foreigners also reported having seen the creature. All the descriptions matched that of the extinct dinosaur, Apatosaurus. Although the real dinosaur was a plant eater, local people said this creature had attacked people. They linked it with ancient rock paintings nearby, which showed a long- necked, four footed beast known as moke'le'- mbe'mbe', meaning "rainbow". Since these early sightings, scientific investigations have brought back specimens of droppings and casts of huge footprints. But despite these findings and other evidence, the esistence of the moke'le'- mbe'mbe' has yet to be proven.

There are a couple of creatures alive today that are considered "living dinosaurs".

The Tuatara from New Zealand is a reptile that is thought to have walked with the dinosaurs. It's the last known member of the dinosaur family, the Sphehodontia.

The coelacanth is known as the dinosaur fish. Thought to have been extinct for 80 million years, it was rediscovered in 1938. It is occasionally sighted and could be called the ugliest fish on earth.

There have been enough sightings of unusually large creatures through the years to raise the question of whether or not dinosaurs still exist. For scientific purposes, however, it seems the dinosaurs' closest living reptile is not the crocodile, as many imagine, but in fact the tuatara of New Zealand. In addition, in some scientific quarters, birds have now been classified as dinosaurs, descended from a group related to velociraptor.

There are no dinosaurs on earth now.

But birds and some reptiles are considered to be their nearest relatives and sometimes are also called "living dinosaurs" or "flying dinosaurs" Crocodiles, aligators and sharks have evolved very little from the age of the dinsosaurs. The fossil record shows that their ancestors looked very similar. In many ways these creatures can be considered living dinosaurs.
